Searching For Your Open Source Code

One cool thing about developing free open source software is seeing where your code ends up. It is satisfying to know that bits of code you wrote end up in other projects and code bases.

To make it easier for everyone to write good C++ tests, today we have open-sourced Google C++ Testing Framework (Google Test for short), a library that thousands of Googlers have been using in our C++ programs. Highlights of the project include:

I've been involved with this program since years before it became a program, and I am an instructor for the first course in the series, called Foundations. For this course, called Bug Advocacy, I was a student.
