Products that do what Doctest – the lightest C++ testing framework – version 1.1 released does
https://github.com/onqtam/doctest version 1.1 brings the following major changes: - HUGE improvements in compile time of asserts - 70-95% faster than the original one! https://github.com/onqtam/doctest/blob/master/doc/markdown/benchmarks.md#cost-of-an-assertion-macro - wrote a FAQ - and the much requested differences with Catch section - https://github.com/onqtam/doctest/blob/master/doc/markdown/faq.md#how-is-doctest-different-from-catch - MANY minor fixes - it didn't compile when…

I've created cppmatch, a lightweight, header-only C++ library that brings Rust-inspired pattern matching and error handling to C++. It tries to imitate the functionality of the questionmark (?) operator in C++ by using a macro that uses the gcc extension https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Statement-Exprs.html This allows to create exceptionless code with non-intrusive error-as-value that unlike Exceptions, makes it clear which kinds of error a function can generate and forces you to handle (or ignore) them. The ? operator translates to *expect* To handle the errors I…

Hi HN! Korean high school senior here, about to start CS in college. I built a browser engine from scratch in C++ to understand how browsers work. First time using C++, 8 weeks of development, lots of debugging—but it works! Features: - HTML parsing with error correction - CSS cascade and inheritance - Block/inline layout engine - Async image loading + caching - Link navigation + history Hardest parts: - String parsing(html, css) - Rendering - Image Caching & Layout Reflowing What I learned (beyond code): - Systematic debugging is crucial - Ship with known bugs rather than chase…

I got sick of the old software development loop: Change code -> Run tests -> wait -> wait some more -> look at failures. I decided to build a tool that will enable you to: Change code -> look at failures. No wait time, no explicit test running. Under the hood: - Runs the whole test suite and collects code coverage per test. - For each auto file save, analyzes the changes on the tests. - Runs changed tests in the background. - Display results, the loop time from change to test results is approx 250ms. Instead of: code -> alt+tab -> arrow up -> rerun all the tests -> wait ... -> test results…

Morning HN. I often found myself wondering "how much does this code segment take in terms of total runtime" and it's often quite annoying to figure out with optimizations enabled, especially when working on something new or testing someone else's implementation without the proper tooling set up. Wanted to have a single include lib that would allow us to write something like: ``` PROFILE("Loop 1") for (...) // some work ``` and have the next expression automatically record time & dump results to a table. Wrote a few macros to do exactly that a few months back, but they were…

I always strive to write better, clean and readable code. But I often find unit tests are hard to read, and especially harder to quickly identify what are the important pieces, or even what the test is testing about. So I came up with this lightweight library to help enforce unit tests with a Given-When-Then structure. I hope you find this useful. Any feedback are welcome. https://github.com/cobrakai-lab/Cobrakai.GWTUnit

Hey guys, I'm investing a ton of time on writing unit tests, for both enterprise and personal projects. I came up with the idea to make extension for AI-generated tests and cases within a VS Code. Happy to hear feedback, both positive and negative.

Hi guys, Two days ago I published the fourth post in the series and thought it would now be a good time to look for additional feedback here on Hacker News. The aim of the series (as mentioned in the first post) is to inspire more people to start using Qt. My ambition is to answer the following questions "what is the gist of Qt?"; "what is the 20% that you need to know to develop 80% of the application?"; "what are the perhaps unknown unknowns?". In other words, I'm just covering basics: enough to understand the concepts and where to find additional information should you need it. Do you…

Hi HN! I've built [CXXStateTree](https://github.com/ZigRazor/CXXStateTree), a modern C++ header-only library to create hierarchical state machines with clean, intuitive APIs. It supports: - Deeply nested states - Entry/exit handlers - State transitions with guards and actions - Asynchronous transitions with `co_await` (C++20 coroutines) - Optional runtime type identification for flexibility It's ideal for complex control logic, embedded systems, games, robotics, and anywhere you'd use a finite state machine. I’d love feedback, use cases, or contributions from the…

This is based on an approach I made for a very high performance message and video multiplexing server. The project died, but I'm glad I get to share the a basic version with some http test code now. I admit this is the second time I've tried to show this off here today; I posted earlier but it got lost when no-one was watching :(

I built this because Cursor, Claude Code and other agentic AI tools kept giving me tests that looked fine but failed when I ran them. Or worse - I'd ask the agent to run them and it would start looping: fix tests, those fail, then it starts "fixing" my code so tests pass, or just deletes assertions so they "pass". Out of that frustration I built KeelTest - a VS Code extension that generates pytest tests and executes them, got hooked and decided to push this project forward... When tests fail, it tries to figure out why: - Generation error: Attemps to fix it automatically, then tries again -…

For the past few months we’ve been building a simple jest/typescript-based high-level language for writing and running integration tests. We're open-sourcing it now and are excited to share it with you: https://github.com/traceloop/jest-opentelemetry Why we built this: - There are many solid frameworks for FE / browser testing, but none with high-level constructs for testing BE flows - We were missing a way to validate side effects for complex backend systems, especially across async queueing systems Our beta version lets you send an API call to a system and…

Ladies and gentlemen of a Lisp persuasion, Clojurians and Clojuristas, followers of the paren and everyone else covetously eyeing the greener grass, I made an open-source thing that I would like to share with you. My elevator pitch is that it'll make you forget all about regular print debugging in 10 minutes straight. The slightly longer pitch is this: #>(tag'n'trace any Clojure(-Script) form to `tap>` and Portal with automatic last-input function replay on eval, instant re-render and hassle-free insertion of traced data into the REPL) And before I end up pasting half the README here in bits…

Hi, we are working on a tool for speeding up test runs, by skipping tests unaffected by code changes. Effectivly, Saving 80-95% of the time, by skipping 80-95% of tests. We started a few months ago, and have managed to get into a few production CI systems. All our prospects and users are on holiday right now. So we decided to repackage and open-source for local test running. available here (https://github.com/nabaz-io/nabaz) under MIT license. One line change: pytest -v -> nabaz test --cmdline "pytest -v" Stalk us on GitHub, or just Star us. Ask questions, we'll answer in…
