Visual Studio 2012 C++ CppUnitTestFramework targeting the Visual Studio C++ 2010 compiler

Charles Sterling

Slow news day here at Microsoft; trolling my inbox noticed two things that might be of interest to the ALM Community. Using the C++ Unit Testing Framework targeting the 2010 complier and we have (found and) updated the “Team Foundation Server Migration and Integration Solutions page on MSDN”.

 

Visual Studio 2012  C++ CppUnitTestFramework targeting the 2010 compiler?

Just saw a question and answer come across one of the internal distributions lists that should prove useful to folks adopting the new Visual Studio Testing framework for C++:

“I have a customer who has Visual Studio 2012, but they are not ready to update the compiler (due to a couple of different reasons) so are still using the 2010 compiler.

They are curious whether CppUnitTestFramework will work with the 2010 compiler.”

Answer:

The unit test framework works with 2010 compiler. This works fine with the appropriate changes to include paths in the project dll/include references.

The only thing to you do is add following include directory and library directory in the unit test project setting:

  • C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0VCUnitTestinclude
  • C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0VCUnitTestlib

 

Where is the “Team Foundation Server Migration and Integration Solutions” Page?

I have had a couple people ping me about the MSDN page: Team Foundation Server Migration and Integration Solutions going missing. 

Answer: 

Turns out in the last round of web site house cleaning we were a little overzealous and deleted it!  Luckily the website is in version control; so not only have brought it back we have updated it to include Opshub:
