List of unit testing frameworks

Module test software (mostly but " test frameworks " from engl. "Unit test frameworks" called ) refers to software frameworks for performing unit testing (often called unit testing ). They are used to detect errors in individual components ( modules ) of a software, such as individual classes. As a prerequisite for refactoring it is of particular importance. After each change should be sought by the end of all test cases according to program errors.

Module test software or test frameworks are now available for almost any programming language. Often the names of these frameworks in the form xyzUnit (such as JUnit for Java, see below). Test frame are used to test the source code better and automatically. This can be determined relatively quickly after modifications to the source code, if the tests previously created still have the same results.

C

Cantata: Commercial tool for unit testing, module integration testing and coverage testing of C and C code.
CppUnit is the port of JUnit to C . It was originally written by Michael Feathers, but is now an open project at SourceForge. Since, however, he had the impression that CppUnit was now too complicated to install yourself Feathers decided to write the stripped down version CppUnitLite.
Cfix: Specialized for Win32 and NT kernel mode development. Licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License ( LGPL). Based on cfix exists with Visual Assert an add -in that extends Visual Studio to unit testing functionality.

Qt supports unit testing ( QTestLib ).
Google Mock developed by Google C Testing Framework.

COBOL

CobolUnit is too XUnit compatible framework.
Savvytest is an Eclipse-based (commercial ) test tool for the acquisition and execution of unit tests, which mainly for testing mainframe components (especially COBOL on z / OS) was designed. In addition, the purely technical interface is represented by additional specifications in a professional point of view and supplied with test data. The tests of speech and are to be stored platform independent.

Darts

Unit testing is available unittest Dart in the library.

Delphi

DUnit is a port of JUnit for Embarcadero Delphi. In Version " Delphi 2005 " it was ( today later CodeGear Embarcadero Technologies) was added by Borland as an integral part in the development environment.

Java

JUnit was written for the Java programming language by Erich Gamma and Kent Beck. ( more tools for unit testing: TestNG, HttpUnit, Cactus, Spock, ...)

JSUnit was built by Edward Hieatt on the model of JUnit and offers manual and fully integrated testing for JavaScript with browser-and operating system-independent test servers. The developers of JSUnit recommend, however, now the use of Jasmine. Further testing frameworks for JavaScript are YUI or QUnit.

Lingo (Macromedia Director)

LingoUnit is a framework for the interpreted scripting language Lingo in Macromedia Director authoring system, which is also performed at SourceForge.

. NET

NUnit originally a 1:1 port of JUnit to the platform. NET, particularly C # and Visual Basic. NET. Has been extended with specific. NET features newly written and supports all. NET languages.

MSTest: Microsoft offers Visual Studio for integrated unit testing framework MSTest.

PEX: Microsoft offers Visual Studio for integrated unit testing framework PEX. This is used for the automatic generation of unit tests and the associated test cases.

Time Partition Testing ( TPT) is a test tool for control and regulation systems. For the connection to. NET a programming interface ( API ) is one of the TPT -VM for test execution.

Perl

Perl has a long rich history of automatic tests. Perl itself is tested automatically and Perldistribution include a series of test modules. Here is the best start with Test :: Simple, work your way to Test :: More, and then dive into the depths of Test :: Class and the other modules. These all use the Test Anything Protocol ( TAP). Furthermore, there is Test :: Unit and Test :: Unit :: Lite, which are derivatives of JUnit are.

PHP

PHPUnit is the port of JUnit to PHP and was written by Sebastian Bergmann.

Simple test is also a port of JUnit, which has been extended to other functions such as Mock Objects and functions for testing web pages.

PL / SQL

UtPLSQL is a unit testing framework for PL / SQL which is also performed at SourceForge. Quest Code Tester for Oracle is a commercial product for the definition and execution of unit tests for PL / SQL. It is a further development of utPLSQL and sold by Quest Software.

Python

Unit testing is an integral part of the Python standard library

Ruby

Unit test is at Ruby in the standard library as Test :: Unit or rune available.

RSpec is a behavior driven development and testing framework for Ruby.

Matlab / Simulink

Simulink Design Verifier MathWorks generates test cases for complete coverage and a test frame. To use this get Formal Methods.
System Test MathWorks can test models and thereby change parameters. Input stimuli can be generated manually or by statistical distributions.
Time Partition Testing ( TPT) of PikeTec supports automatic test generation framework including an automatic interface analysis and automatic test execution, reporting, and logging.
MlUnit xUnit testing framework of Matlab scripts

Shell ( s )

Shunit2 open source project. Supported Shells: Bourne, Bourne Again SHell GNU, DASH, Korn Shell, Public Domain Korn shell, Zsh (version 2.1.2). Supported / Tested Platforms: - Cygwin, FreeBSD, GNU / Linux ( Gentoo, Ubuntu ), Mac OS X, Solaris (8, 9, 10).

Small talk

SUnit: Probably the first framework for creating unit tests written by Kent Beck for Smalltalk programming language. The idea was quickly transferred to other programming languages.

Tcl

Tcl contains the module tcltest unit testing. Other testing frameworks were written in Tcl, is known about DejaGnu, with the gcc is tested. In addition, you can in a few lines of a "framework" create your own:

Proc test { } { command expected catch { uplevel $ 1 command} res if { $ res ne $ expected } { puts " $ command -> $ res, not $ expected" } } Tests ( in own source files, or directly from the code) look like this: it is a statement, and the expected result. If an unexpected result is evaluated, this is displayed:

Test { expr 3 4} 7 Transact SQL

TSQLUnit is a framework for unit testing in Transact -SQL. It adheres to the tradition of the xUnit frameworks that are available for multiple programming languages.

Visual Basic 6

VbUnit: The German company Maass computer engineering from Bochum has implemented the xUnit Framework for Visual Basic 6. vbUnit is not completely open source. In the paid version 3 Professional you get the unit testing framework for Visual Basic 6, including a Microsoft Visual Studio 6 add-on. The Basic version of vbUnit is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License ( LGPL), which means that you get both the compiled components as well as the source code for this version. The test runner and the add -on for Microsoft Visual Studio 6 in the Professional version are free of charge and not open source.
