Still better than Visual "On Error Resume Next" Basic 6. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Physicists at the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech have discovered the first three-dimensional quantum liquid crystal—a new state of matter that may have applications in ultrafast quantum computers of the future. Can you spell things with them by viewing them upside-down?

I'm holding out for Quantum Coffee. It doesn't just put hair on your chest; it shifts your entire Universe! 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Unit tests, basically a smart idea.
But how does it look in praxis? I mean apart from the simple examples in all these tutorials where one tests whether a Sum function works for "1+1"?
The tutoririal's examples will of course work also for a much more complex thing like matrix inversion and what else.
But are this "more or less static" things really the problem?
In my opinion no! The dynamic/asynch/interaction things are the problem and until now not really considered to test them seriously by unit tests.
All this what I'm missing can be probably also a leak of my knowledge.
I'm happy to read contrary against my expirience/knowledge.

The VS C++ testing framework is really only useful for very, very, very....very simple unit/integration testing. Forget about stubs and/or mocks (which is where mature test frameworks really shine) unless you are prepared to hand crank them - a slow, tedious and error prone process. The VS C++ testing framework is something you would only use when there is literally no alternative other than manually writing all of your tests.

Hmm, that's sad, if true.

If you're interested in a good introduction to testing then see, "The Art of Unit Testing" by Roy Osherove, 2014. Note you will not be able to perform much of what is discussed in the book using the VS C++ testing framework, that is, unless you hand crank everything (but that defeats the purpose of using a good test framework in the first place).
Cheers,
Ian

I found it to be much better than you state. At one place we used gmock (which I don't particular like, but it worked for where it was needed.)
That aside, what native C++ test frameworks do you recommend?

Hello Joe,
I do not have a C++ test framework to recommend. I tried but gave up with Google's C++ test framework because I was unable to get it up and running in a reasonable time (i.e. several full days) On the other hand, my first foray into test frameworks to VS and the .NET environment, well, they just worked, without any installation or usage problems.
The C++/DLL specification does not readily lend itself to building test frameworks as does the .NET specification. The point being that C++ test frameworks simply do not (and likely never will) come even remotely close to the full featured and mature test frameworks such as one finds for the .NET environment. I have no doubt that something can eventually be cobbled together for the VS C++ test framework that provides a bit more than simple integration tests but this is a non-trivial task and rather surprising in view of just how 'old' the C++ language is.
Cheers,
Ian

That provides good context for you previous answer. Lately, I've been using Catch and been satisfied, but was curious if someone found something better.
(I've actually been disappointed with a lot of google's tools; many seem so half-baked. I'm curious how gRPC is.)
(I've also learned in C++ to design in dependency injection rather than depend on mock frameworks.)

Physicists have created a fluid with negative mass, which is exactly what it sounds like. Push it, and unlike every physical object in the world we know, it doesn't accelerate in the direction it was pushed. It accelerates backwards. I could do with a bit of that, thank you.

Now THAT is interesting.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
