Can't answer your question directly, but for my CLI/U++ projects I'm using for years the "UnitTest++", there's even some original old version in the Bazaar here on web.

But I don't see any obvious reason why U++ should pose any problem to regular C++ UT framework, at least in the trivial land of CLI. I never got the grasp of GUI unit testing, in my projects I always just test the "model" classes without any GUI widgets, and keep the presenter/view part outside of the UT scope - something I wish I would learn to manage better, but so far never had enough "time" for that.

edit: about TheIDE vs UnitTest++: my app can be compiled with UT flag (one of the configurations), at that moment it will in the main launch the test runner instead of going into the app itself, and output the results, so I have them visible in TheIDE console, or I can redirected them to log files when running it from command line. No neat green/red semaphore, but I don't miss that, for me "OK/FAIL" text in console is enough. Smile
