    Doesn't really have CMake integration, which is a big downer. You could try utest.h, which is a pretty minimal (as the name suggests), but featureful testing library. It still needs you to declare the main, but is that really such a problem?

    I use utest. I do not know how popular or not it is, but it is a simple single-file include with a liberal license and it seems to do what it says it does. Many options I looked at just seemed overly complex and I do not like to drag in piles of heavy dependencies in every thing I code.

    the header-only https://github.com/sheredom/utest.h might be worth a shot if you trying to keep things compact.
