The Validas QKit for Google Test
From open-source to safety-critical: qualifying gtest with confidence
Google Test (gtest) is a popular open-source C++ testing and mocking framework developed by Google. It provides powerful features for writing and executing tests, and can be easily initialized within a project and automated as part of your build environment. While widely adopted, the open-source community typically does not offer qualification support, which is often required in safety-critical contexts.
To address this, Validas has developed a gtest Qualification Kit.
