Google Test's default output is pretty loud (2 lines per individual test, plus 3 for each test case). As a result, any failing tests' output has often long since scrolled off the screen by the time a test suite finishes. I wrote a utility, Google Test Pretty Printer, to improve this. It shows test names as they're executing but prints at most one line of permanent output per test case, and it includes details on failing tests at the end.

You can get it on GitHub from https://github.com/joshkel/gtpp. Feedback, suggestions, and PRs welcome.
