Implements professional testing workflows for modern C++ projects using GoogleTest, GoogleMock, and CMake.
This skill equips Claude with advanced capabilities for C++ test automation, focusing on modern standards (C++17/20) and the GoogleTest framework. It facilitates the complete Test-Driven Development (TDD) cycle, from writing initial failing tests to implementing fixes and refactoring for clean, maintainable code. By providing patterns for mocks, fakes, and dependency injection, it ensures robust test isolation, while also integrating sophisticated diagnostics like memory sanitizers and code coverage reporting within CMake/CTest environments.
