            <title>[CXX-1744] Investigate alternatives to Catch2</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CXX-1744</link>
                <project id="11980" key="CXX">C++ Driver</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;As described in &lt;a href=&quot;https://codingnest.com/the-future-of-catch2/&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://codingnest.com/the-future-of-catch2/&lt;/a&gt; after the next major release the plans to maintain Catch2 are up in the air. The next major release plans to drop support for VS2015/gcc 4.8, which we may not want to drop support for.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let&apos;s investigate alternatives like google test or decide if Catch2 is still okay with these downsides.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                            <comment id="2160770" author="acm" created="Sat, 23 Feb 2019 18:53:16 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;I think at this point it might be reasonable to consider a &quot;toolchain/language&quot; bump for the C++ driver. Move to requiring C++17, drop the polyfills, require GCC 8, clang 7, XCode 10, VS 2017. In that case, you would probably be better prepared to deal with changes coming for catch2.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
