Unit Tests as Documentation
This is one area where a BDD style framework like catch2[0] really shines, IMO. The way tests are written in this style naturally lends itself to self-documenting each branch

Comparing C++ range libraries for filter+reverse case with non-trivial lambda
The code uses catch2 to test for correctness and performance. Catch2 is a unit testing framework for C++, but it also provides basic micro-benchmarking features. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any way to visualise the results, so I created a script and submitted PR adding plotting capabilities to Catch.

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
