Hi, I think I know the psychological implication of red bar / green bar. Often if there are no errors people question if the tests even ran and checking the output is confusing and non intuitive. Honestly I would like to see a well written MFC (or similar) test runner for UT++ so the it can compete in that area. I just don't feel it a feature for myself, but my superiors, integration tester and more naive colleagues.
Did I catch that right, you use UnitTest++ in your courses? I think that is really awesome. I would like to hear how your students react to it. Often many think that TDD is nonsense and a waste of time, mostly the more novice programmers.
