Unit Testing Frameworks for Visual Studio 2012 Cons/Pros

Unit Testing Frameworks for Visual Studio 2012 Cons/Pros

I want to get started on Unit Testing in C++ (pure C++, not .NET), since I
have never done it before. Always used assert and cout. So far, the only
good Question with detailed answers, I have found is Choosing a C++ unit
testing tool/framework, but it is dated to 2008.
I would like to hear some opinions about currently available C++ Unit
Testing compatible with Visual Studio 2012. What are their Cons and Pros ?
How easy/hard to learn them(i.e availability of learning materials) ? How
Popular they are ? Are they being actively developed, supported ?
There are several frameworks that I am aware of: Google's Testing
Framework, Boost Testing Lib.
(Also, in addition to Visual Studio, I use Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013,
primarily for static analysis)
