Hi,
ok I need to write this somewhere down, since it appears to be a very
common question.
Here my advice and it is irrelevant what framework you use. You do not
really want to have your unit test code in your production code, so the
simple solution is as follows:
Create a static library and add all source files to that, except the
"main.cpp". Your executable only contains the "main.cpp" (the file that
holds your main function) and link to the library. Although the build
process is slightly more complicated, the end result is the same, one
executable. Next you create a second executable, put all your unit tests in
there and link that to your library. This is your unit test executable. For
extra points make the unit test executable being run on every build
("custom build step").

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
