Bug#606373: ITP: cxxtest -- a xUnit-like framework for C/C++

[Cleto Martin Angelina <cleto.martin@gmail.com>]

Hi Eduard!

And who exactly are the intended users of this package?

Due to features mentioned at long description of the package, CxxTest is designed to be more lightweight than other testing frameworks (like CppUnit). Thus, it is a good alternative for embedded systems where Run-Time Type Information (RTTI) or exception handling are not supported by certain compilers. I have test both CppUnit and CxxTest and IMHO, writing unit test is easier in CxxTest. We are using it on ANSI C and  C++ projects with a good results. Others [1] use CxxTest too.

Moreover, we have integrated it in the "atheist" (deb package) testing framework.
