C++ unit testing with Microsoft MFC

Question

Hey all,

I'm trying to convince my organization to start running unit tests on our C++ code. This is a two-part question:

1. Any tips on convincing my employer that unit testing saves money in the long run? (They have a hard time justifying the immediate expenses.)

2. I'm not familiar with any C++ testing frameworks that integrate well with MFC. Does anyone have experience with this, or use any general test harnesses that could be extended?

Answer 1

I can answer the second question - the Boost Test framework can be used with MFC and someone has posted an excellent article about it on Code Project:

1. Faster time to market
2. Higher code quality
3. More flexibility

Answer 3

Boost test is really complete, but a little cumbersome.

If you just want to make simple tests, spending as little time as possible, have a look at google test.
