Besides CMake integration, how does CxxTest compare with other unit testing frameworks – say CppUnit – in example? So far I've read Noel Llopis' "Exploring the C++ Unit Testing Framework Jungle" (2004) article. [1]

As a minor point against CxxTest, it has an external dependency to Python. Regardless of unit testing framework chosen (I have no preference yet), this suggestion has my support.

Since Doomseeker is also using the Qt framework, how does CxxMake compare with Qt Test? [1]

Given that this was initially created 3 years ago, I think I didn't know about Qt Test at the time. Naturally, we should be using Qt Test. Boost Unit Test module is also good, but it's also a separate dependency.

I'll create a new ticket for Qt Test, and close this ticket soon if there's no objections to this resolution (per Zalewa's note).
