What Hacker News says
2 sources> Catch2 is great as a unit test framework.
It's "great" mainly in the sense of being very large, and making your code very lage - and slow to build. I would not recommend it unless you absolutely must have some particular feature not existing elsewhere.
Here's a long list of C++ unit testing frameworks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unit_testing_framework...
