cipra Unit Testing Framework
@mainpage
cipra is a simple, TAP-compatible Unit Testing Framework for C++. cipra is Free and Open Source Software, released under a 3-clause BSD-style license. It's written in 100% standard C++11 and is only a couple header files, making it easy to include in your C++11 project.
TAP, the Test Anything Protocol, is a standard output format for software unit test frameworks that was originally designed for Perl, but can serve other languages. It has a rich number of tools ("harnesses") that parse TAP formatted output and do useful things with it. TAP, however, is equally human-readable.
The name cipra (pronounced /ˈʃi.pɾaː/ "SHEE-prah") comes from the lojban phrase "lo cipra", which means "the test". It is properly written with an initial minuscule 'c', even when at the start of a sentence.

Usage
You can find a tutorial on the [Tutorial page](@ref md_tutorial) or in the
tutorial.md file in the doc/ directory.
Where possible, cipra's test interface is analogous to Perl's
Test::More module.
To use cipra, just include the cipra.hpp header file in your test
file. You do not need to link to any library. All methods are inline
in the header files; there is no need to compile cipra.
