CppUnit is a unit testing framework module for the C++ programming language. It allows unit-testing of C sources as well as C++ with minimal source modification. It was started around 2000 by Michael Feathers as a C++ port of JUnit for Windows and ported to Unix by Jerome Lacoste.{{cite web|url=http://people.freedesktop.org/~mmohrhard/cppunit/|title=CppUnit Documentation|first=Markus|last=Mohrhard|publisher=freedesktop.org}} The library is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

The framework runs tests in suites. Test result output is sent to a filter, the most basic being a simple pass or fail count printed out, or more advanced filters allowing XML output compatible with continuous integration reporting systems.Jenkins [https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/xUnit+Plugin plug-in] for CppUnit and other Unit Test tools
