C++ unit tests are located in the ``./tests/cpp_tests`` folder and written with the help of Google Test framework.
To run tests locally first refer to the `Installation Guide <./Installation-Guide.rst#build-c-unit-tests>`__ for how to build tests and then simply run compiled executable file.
It is highly recommended to build tests with `sanitizers <./Installation-Guide.rst#sanitizers>`__.

It is possible to build LightGBM in debug mode. In this mode all compiler optimizations are disabled and LightGBM performs more checks internally. To enable debug mode you can add ``-DUSE_DEBUG=ON`` to CMake flags or choose ``Debug_*`` configuration (e.g. ``Debug_DLL``, ``Debug_mpi``) in Visual Studio depending on how you are building LightGBM.

In addition to the debug mode, LightGBM can be built with compiler sanitizers.
To enable them add ``-DUSE_SANITIZER=ON -DENABLED_SANITIZERS="address;leak;undefined"`` to CMake flags.
These values refer to the following supported sanitizers:
