There are many Test Unit frameforks for C++.
CppUnit is certainly not the one I would choose (at least in its stable version 1.x, as it lacks many tests, and requires a lot of redundant lines of codes).
So far, my preferred framework is CxxTest, and I plan on evaluating Fructose some day.
Any way, there are a few “papers” that evaluate C++ TU frameworks :
- Exploring the C++ Unit Testing Framework Jungle, By Noel Llopis
- an article in Overload Journal #78
