It brings the ability of compiled languages such as [**D**](https://dlang.org/spec/unittest.html) / [**Rust**](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch11-00-testing.html) / [**Nim**](https://nim-lang.org/docs/unittest.html) to have tests written directly in the production code thanks to a fast, transparent and flexible test runner with a clean interface.\n\n[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B#Standardization)\n[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)\n[](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/doctest/doctest/master/doctest/doctest.h)\n[![CII B",
