GitHub - Snaipe/Criterion: A cross-platform C and C++ unit testing framework for the 21st century
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?

Functional Tests as a Tree of Continuations
The C++ testing framework Catch2 enables this kind of testing. The first time I saw it I couldn't figure out how some of the tests would even pass.
It turns out that using some evil macro magic, each test re-runs from the start for each inner section [1]. It also makes deduplicating setup code completely painless and natural.
You just have to get over the completely non-standard control flow. It's a good standard bearer for why metaprogramming is great, even if you're forced to do it in C/C++'s awful macro system.

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.
