CppUnit is aunit testing framework module for theC++ programming language. It allows unit-testing ofC sources as well as C++ with minimal source modification. It was started around 2000 by Michael Feathers as a C++port ofJUnit for Windows and ported to Unix by Jerome Lacoste.^[2] The library is released under theGNU Lesser General Public License.

The framework runs tests in suites. Test result output is sent to a filter, the most basic being a simple pass or fail count printed out, or more advanced filters allowing XML output compatible withcontinuous integration reporting systems.^[3]

The project has beenforked several times.^[4][5] Thefreedesktop.org version atGitHub, maintained by Markus Mohrhard of theLibreOffice project (which uses CppUnit heavily), was actively maintained until 2020, and is used inLinux distributions such asDebian,Ubuntu,Gentoo andArch.^[6]
