Catch
A modern, C++-native, test framework for unit-tests, TDD and BDD - using C++14, C++17 and later (C++11 support is in v2.x branch, and C++03 on the Catch1.x branch) (by catchorg)

How can I check the execution time of a program rendered in SFML?

How do you use the Catch testing library?
Include(FetchContent) FetchContent_Declare(Catch2 GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git GIT_TAG v3.3.2 ) FetchContent_MakeAvailable(Catch2)

Trying to add tests for my cmake for catch2 with ctest.
Another possible issue would be the include(Catch) in your root cmakelists.txt . To include Catch there it must be part of your module path. Otherwise you have to include the path to that catch2 cmake file. Here is that file in their repository - https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/blob/devel/extras/Catch.cmake . I recon that CMake doesn't know about this file since you call find_package(Catch2 REQUIRED) later in your subdirectory

snitch v1.0 -- A lightweight C++20 testing framework
Looks good but currently at least REQUIRE (most likely all the other checks too but I didn't test that) fails to correctly evaluate some expressions, due to fundamental problems with macros. One example is described in this issue of the Catch2 repository.

IDE for CPP(leetcode)
However, you can use a unit test framework like GoogleTest or Catch2 whic creates a main() function for you which allows you to run single functions, as long as they have been created through some preprocessor macros. Then you can use a VS Code test adapter like this or this which may let you run a single test by right clicking it directly in VS Code.

New to C++
Make sure you write unit tests, I use gtest but catch2 is also good.

What is the best Unit testing framework for VS code for C?
You shouldn't need a configuration file to write tests with Unity. You are using Unity from Unity on Github right? You can use YAML files to along with some helper scripts Unity and related tools provide, but it doesn't sound like you are there yet.
-
commonly used c-unit testing framework in 2022?
I use Unity Fixtues + FFF + CException framework.

industry standard for Test frameworks?
I know Unity is used in the embedded industry, I also use it for my own personal projects. It’s great and does everything I need.

Testing Frameworks for C++, ESP32
If you're using the ESP-IDF framework, it already comes with Unity. It's easy to use, and you have the Test Driven Development for Embedded C book as reference.

Unit Testing in C
Check out Espressif's ESP-IDF and their approach to unit testing with the Unity unit test framework. It's a complete system based on FreeRTOS with support for their hardware, common protocols, and libraries.
I use the Unity Test Framework: https://github.com/ThrowTheSwitch/Unity
There are plenty of frameworks for writing unittests but currently I prefer Unity and fff for creating fakes/stubs.

I wrote a Unit Testing Framework in pure C that can test C & C++ code
Drawing a comparison to heavyweights like Google Test isn't fair game though. Your real competition is the likes of Unity and CuTest. My question to you, what does Muon have that Unity doesn't? What's the selling point to get me to switch over?

What is your method for unit tests?
For unit tests in C, I use Unity for running the tests. Fake all functions that directly interact with hardware using FFF.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Catch and Unity Test API you can also consider the following projects:
Google Test - GoogleTest - Google Testing and Mocking Framework
doctest - The fastest feature-rich C++11/14/17/20/23 single-header testing framework
Boost.Test - The reference C++ unit testing framework (TDD, xUnit, C++03/11/14/17)
CppUTest - CppUTest unit testing and mocking framework for C/C++
Google Mock
CppUnit - C++ port of JUnit
benchmark - A microbenchmark support library
esp-idf - Espressif IoT Development Framework. Official development framework for Espressif SoCs.
fff - A testing micro framework for creating function test doubles
UnitTest++ - A lightweight unit testing framework for C++
