Transitioning from Java to C++

• hdoc

  13 284 0.0 C++

  The modern documentation tool for C++.

Look into doxygen and hdoc

• Catch

  55 17,965 9.2 C++

  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)

  

I've only ever personally used Catch2, Boost.Test, and a few proprietary unit test frameworks from my company. I enjoy using both Catch2 and Boost.Test, but they have a very different feel. Of these two I find Catch2 easier to get started with. It also has very good CMake an CTest integration. I have heard good things about GoogleTest, but I have never used it myself. GoogleTest also has good CTest support

  Conan - The open-source C and C++ package manager

  

You didn't ask about this, but I think its worth mentioning Conan and vcpkg. Of the two I have found vcpkg easier to work with, but both can be good solutions. Combining one of these package managers with CMake presets can make getting a project setup on a new machine almost trivial (great for CI or onboarding new devs).
