Here's a test using TestWebKitAPI


#include "Test.h"

#include <JavaScriptCore/Vector.h>

TEST(WTF, VectorBasic)
{
    Vector<int> intVector;
    TEST_ASSERT(intVector.isEmpty());
    TEST_ASSERT(intVector.size() == 0);
    TEST_ASSERT(intVector.capacity() == 0);
}


Here's the same test written using gtest:


#include "gtest.h"

#include <JavaScriptCore/Vector.h>

TEST(WTF, VectorBasic)
{
    Vector<int> intVector;
    ASSERT_TRUE(intVector.isEmpty());
    ASSERT_EQ(0, intVector.size());
    ASSERT_EQ(0, intVector.capacity());
}

With respect to writing a simple test, they both make it easy to write one,
so I don't think this is the deciding factor.
