GoogleTest is Google's C++ mocking and test framework. It's used by many internal projects at Google, as well as a number of notable projects such as The Chromium projects, the OpenCV computer vision library, and the LLVM compiler. This GoogleTest project is actually a union of what used to be two separate projects: the old GoogleTest and GoogleMock, an extension of GoogleTest for writing and using C++ mock classes. Since they were so closely related, they were merged to create an even better GoogleTest. GoogleTest features an xUnit test framework, a rich set of assertions, user-defined assertions, death tests, among many others. It's been used on a variety of platforms, including Cygwin, Symbian, MinGW and PlatformIO.

The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is a framework designed to improve the level of reuse and automation in test cases and test environments. The goal of STAF is to provide a complete end-to-end automation solution for testers.

FORTRAN Unit Test Framework, written in FORTRAN 95. So that all FORTRAN features can be tested. FRUIT has assertion, fixture, setup, teardown, report, spec, driver generation. Rake used as build tool. Tutorials at http://fortranxunit.wiki.sourceforge.net The core testing part is in FORTRAN, this part can be used independent of the Ruby codes. The Ruby code is to make fixtures and reports easier. Rake is to build the project elegantly. This project also demonstrate a new way to build mixed language code in an alternative way than Make. Most of the FORTRAN are important in nature, used in nuclear and aerospace codes, etc, and maintained and written actively. Please help to bring TDD practices to the FORTRAN community. The change could be very hard, personally, I quit, since I could not make the change. I hope your organization will be successful. Enjoy a cup of fruit while maintaining FORTRAN ! Andrew Hang Chen and other maintainers who feel importance of TDD in cr

QTest is a perl-based test framework for testing programs written in any language. It supports a "design for testability" mentality, user-defined test coverage, filters, and multithreading support. Includes documentation.

CloudTest is a redefined unit testing approach and methodology, which can make your testing jobs become much more easy and efficient. It is a pure java lightweight framework integrated test cases management, test data management, assert management, automation regression, performance monitor and test report in one.

Automated Test Framework for Embedded Software: A system to perform test scripts 'in system' on embedded software. It uses Python as a high level description language and interfaces with GDB to communicate with the embedded platform.

STUBborn C is a tool that allows you to create a module test framework for SW modules developed in C. The framework includes: Stubs needed to link the module; A sample Makefile to build, run tests and check code coverage; Test templates using CUnit.

Built on top of the CuTest framework, utf automates many of the tedious steps required to create a suite of test and makes it easy to test existing code not structured for unit testing.

oaklib provides many useful, portable C++ libraries. (Currently - OakUT - C++ unit test framework)
