Code Coverage for Native Unit Testing in C++

This is part two of my “how to start Unit Test C++ guide” (the first part). If you decided to use Native Unit Test Project

7. And include #include “your_header_name.h” into it (#include “../ConsoleApp/check.h” in my example) into a unit test file (unittest1.cpp)

It’s probably because Unit Test projects are built for faster links. In order to use Code Coverage Analysis…
