Yes. I'm working from time to time on it and are currently working towards a new release with most likely two new features. > > If so, is there a way to run tests in parallel to take advantage of multi > core processors? > There is none and I'm currently not planning to add one. There are several reasons why I think adding this feature might not be a good idea: 1.) There is currently no platform independent thread library in the standard library (we still use c++03) 2.) Makes your tests more complex 3.) Adds concurrency issues to your tests (especially if there are some shared resources) 4.) Makes the execution non-deterministic 5.) Makes the cppunit code much more complex as we need to think about which code is a shared resource There are most likely more but that are the ones that come to my mind right now. As Miklos already mentioned I think it is a much better idea to split the tests into independent test cases that are executed completely independent and in own processes if you really need the advantages of multi-core processors.
