I've just seen a post from Phlip, where he says

"And don't use CppUnit. Use UnitTest++, from here:

http://unittest-cpp.sourceforge.net/

Much leaner and cleaner architecture."

I've seen cppunit, and I wasn't that impressed. As MS users, we're
included to VS Team System, purely because it has some nice wizards and
handles all three of our languages - proper C++, Managed C++ and C#.

What do others think?

Phlip, please don't be offended. I suspect you do know what you are
talking about. If I thought you didn't, I wouldn't bother to ask this.
However, I don't *know* you know - IYSWIM.

Uh, this group is kind'a lean compared to the mailing lists.

I want to know if you can push that Team System outside its envelop. I hope
MS doesn't think that Wizard-Driven Development has value beyond marketing!

The point of UnitTest++ is it's sub-minimal. The test cases and assertions
are reduced almost to a language extension. (Which is the better direction
for TDD research.) So I don't see the need for a Wizard for them, just as I
don't see the need for a Wizard for each 'if' statement.

The code that TDDs UnitTest++ itself is exemplary. If MS's WDD can generate
the same quality of code, great!
