[CODE][PROPOSAL]: replace cppunit with GoogleTest
Hi,
as part of our ip cleanup we remove the cppunit sources and allow the
system cppunit only. This is sup-optimal and a limitation from my point
of view.
I looked for an alternative and found GoogleTest [1] which seems to be a
possible alternative. I don't have time to investigate deeper in this at
the moment but maybe there is a new volunteer who is interested to
investigate some time here. I think it's a perfect task to get started
and play around with some basic modules like cppu etc.

OK. I've now entered it in Bugzilla, not to lose track of it:

deep knowledge is always relative, most often every task depends on the
skills. Including external libraries in our build process and configure
etc. is of course not easy ;-)
But in general, yes I think it can be a candidate for GSOC when somebody
will mentor it.

Is this a good candidate project for the Google Summer of Code? If it
is, please let's track it somewhere in Bugzilla and/or put a reference
in http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2013
It is time to start collecting this kind of "nice to have" tasks that do
not require deep knowledge of the internal infrastructure.
Regards,
Andrea.

thanks for sharing your experience with googletest. Good to know that it can do what I expected or better that does scale with a large amount of test cases.
An improved unit testing should be a combined effort of all developers and I would say a prerequisite in the "future" for all new stuff. But ok we have to do some work before ;-)

The project I worked with (at work) last year used GoogleTest, combined
with Python scripts and we had a little more than 10.000 unit test cases,
which was tested at the end of every build run, so it works. We had however
a pure C++ environment (apart from some php and js) so that may be a
difference to AOO.
I can really recommend it, and it a good oportunity for a new volunteer. If
nobody takes then I will grap it after I have finished l10n.
