So what makes a good test, and how does GoogleTest fit in? We believe:
1. Tests should be *independent* and *repeatable*. It's a pain to debug a test

tests by running each of them on a different object. When a test fails,
googletest allows you to run it in isolation for quick debugging.

2. Tests should be well *organized* and reflect the structure of the tested
code. googletest groups related tests into test suites that can share data
code. GoogleTest groups related tests into test suites that can share data
and subroutines. This common pattern is easy to recognize and makes tests
easy to maintain. Such consistency is especially helpful when people switch
projects and start to work on a new code base.
3. Tests should be *portable* and *reusable*. Google has a lot of code that is
platform-neutral; its tests should also be platform-neutral. googletest

Thus, you can detect and fix multiple bugs in a single run-edit-compile
cycle.
