[Team Library] C++ Unit Testing recommendations?

[farmckon]

Hey folks;

I am looking to select a C++ unit testing framework. Most of my experience is in C, and I use ceedling/rake/cmock with a lot of success. It looks like a lot of the source code so far here is in C++.

Does anyone have experience or recommendation for C++ unit testing framework? IF not, I'll probably select CppTest unless someone has an opinion otherwise.

Hi,
I'm also used to C, but there is a Unit-Test-Frameworks especially for Arduino arduinounit.
But I'm not sure if it's specialized to AVR only or also applicable for the ARM.

Furthermore: which kind of unit testing would you prefer:
1) Unit tests running on real hardware
2) Unit tests running on a host pc with simulated hardware
3) Unit tests only for general things and don't simulate hardware

Each of them has it's Pros and Cons, for 2) we'd need another Unit Test Framework Team I guess (simulating the CC1200 can be cumbersome).

I just finished installing CppTest, and I'm working on tests for 3) and 2). I think 1) will need to wait a bit.

I don't see a need to get super accurate for CC1200 for now, but I would like a simple mock to test with/against.
