CPPUnit vs CPPUnit2

I just noticed that CPPUnit2 exists.

Is anyone here using it? Or is CPPUnit the more commonly used of the 2?

I think it's a fork which went nowhere, judging by the lack of committing. It started with some high-sounding goals.

The home page on sourceforge is confusingly blank, most of the action is on launchpad.

I have used cppunit recently enough to add the VS2008 projects.

I have successfully constructed CppUnit for the recent C++Builder 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and 32-bit OS X platform compilers, using the CppUnit contrib/bc5 files and the article CppUnit Tests with C++BuilderX by Charlie Calvert as guides.

I am in the process of determining how to add new readme files, the modified source and makefiles to the SourceForge CppUnit - C++ port of JUnit project. I have also successfully built CppUnit for the clang and clang++ compilers, included in the Apple Xcode command line tools for OS X Mavericks, by following the instructions within the CppUnit INSTALL text file. I then used NetBeans 7.4 to successfully integrate the clang and clang++ compilers into my project.

NetBeans 7.4 is CppUnit aware, so the test running results are shown inside NetBeans (see the NetBeans IDE 7.4 Installation Instructions). The NetBeans FaqCplusPlusUnitTest has a little bit of detail, recommending the integrated IDE Help topics for more information. See my CppUnit compatibility for nucleus RTOS response for additional details on how to set the CC and CXX variables for the CppUnit configure script execution.

There are additional references. Two helpful ones are 1) Unit testing for C++ code - Tools and methodology with two recent posts of July 2013 and October 2013 and 2) Exploring the C++ Unit Testing Framework Jungle by Noel, updated April 2010. Within Noel's article is the statement that CppUnit is probably the most widely used C++ unit testing framework. A comparison of the lighter UnitTest++ to CppUnit downloads on SourceForge shows UnitTest++ with 113 this week and CppUnit with 899 downloads this week (probably ending March 1, 2014).
