Projects using Google Test

Besides being developed and used at Google, many other projects implement Google Test as well:

Google Test UI is a test runner that runs test binary, allows to track progress via a progress bar, and displays a list of test failures. Google Test UI is written in C#.[5] Additionally, a feature-complete Visual Studio extension exists with Google Test Adapter.[6]
