| Description |

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:
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. |

Thanks jason.chan@mongodb.com! FWIW, the PoC above intentionally matches behaviour and user-visible macro/class names with GTest (following the existing trend), so it wouldn't add extra difficulty for PM-2926 if/when it is persued. |
