It is often useful to run a suite of tests multiple times, varying one or more parameters.
GTest supports this through value-parameterized tests.
For example:
class FixtureClass : TestWithParam<int> { }; TEST_P(FixtureClass, TestThatUsesParameterizedFixture) { int param = GetParam(); // ... do a test using the given parameter } TEST_P(FixtureClass, AnotherTestThatUsesParameterizedFixture) {...} INSTANTIATE_TEST_SUITE_P(SomeUniquePrefix, FixtureClass, Values(1, 2, 3, 4))
Such functionality would be a useful addition to the unittest framework, as it does not appear to currently be supported.
To explore the viability of adding this to the framework, I've created a proof of concept: github.
