A small testing framework for C++

TinyTest — A small, single-header testing framework

During my classwork for a C++ class, I found writing little test programs annoying and ugly, so I wrote this little testing framework to use. My instructor called it overkill, but it made them much easier to write and prettier to my eyes. Plus, I got to play with some cool C++11 features. This likely isn't great C++ code in general, but oh well!

How does it work?

The code is simple, so go dive right in! If you want to know how to use it, simply look at example.cpp. Here's a portion to give you an idea:

int main() {
  Suite("Money", []() {
    Test("Default constructor", []() {
      Money m = Money();

      assert(m.dollars == 0);
      assert(m.cents == 0);
    });
  });
}

Run make to get a small test program that will show you the test run output:

Starting suite: Money
....FF

Failures
----------------
- Money -> Failure
- Money -> Failure with message -> Cents ain't right

----------------
Results: 4 tests, 4 assertions, 2 failures, 0 errors
----------------

The output is somewhat similar to Ruby's test runner.
