Can CxxTest Do Paramaterized Tests?

Question

According to this article, one can make a parameterized test in the GoogleTest framework with some code like this:

INSTANTIATE_TEST_CASE_P(InstantiationName,
                        MyStringTest,
                        ::testing::Values("meek", "geek", "freek"));

TEST_P(MyStringTest, acceptsEekyWords)
{
  ASSERT_TRUE(acceptName(GetParam()));
}

plus some scaffolding.

After going through the CxxTest User Guide, I couldn't help but notice the lack of any mention of parameterized tests. Are parameterized tests even possible with CxxTest?

This question seems to address something similar, but the answer is by no means trivial.

I'm new to C++ unit testing. Maybe parameterized tests aren't a big deal? Almost all of my tests were parameterized in my last C# NUnit project.

Answer 1

As I wrote in my answer to the other question you cited, there's no facility for generating tests at run time, which is what any parameter-based tester I've ever seen does. In CxxTest, the test list is determined at compile time by the Python-based C++ parser, cxxtestgen. You can generate suites dynamically, but you only have the option of generating zero or one copy of any suite.
