Modern C++ development with bazel, googletest and googlemock

Bazel is a build system from google. C++ is one of the languages that bazel supports.

One of the nice things about bazel is, you specify the files and bazel figures out the dependency tree.

Bazel is written in skylark (a subset of python) which makes it accessible to a wide audience.

The ability to integrate with other libraries and the build performance makes bazel a great choice to use.

Googletest is an industry wide accepted solution for unit testing. It's battle tested across multiple projects at varying scales in the industry.

This framework is built along lines of other popular frameworks like junit (following the xunit principles)

Googlemock is a framework for stubbing external calls to make your unit tests repeatable in isolation.

Looking forward to seeing you in the course.

Cheers.
