About this event

Two frameworks enter, one framework leaves. They are the two most common unit test frameworks in C++. Google Test is the old, trusted incumbent. Catch2 is the new kid on the block. Which will win? Spoiler alert: they're both good. It might be a close call. But the biggest software project at SciTec standardized on Catch2 years ago, despite having used GTest for years. We have a mix of the two. How did this go? Why did we (ok, how did I) make this decision? Should you? Come out and join us for this exciting talk and networking during the meetup and at the Burns pub afterward. Food will be sponsored by Sovereign this month. Learn more about sovereign at https://sovereign.trading. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- There is a discord for the meetup that you can join https://discord.gg/98T5XPWcrA to help foster remote interaction! We always plan to go to the Burns pub for social hour after the presentation. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Thank you to our sponsors: Trimble for event space and soft drinks Sovereign for food
