It forks a separate process for each unit tests. Therefore, it cannot be used in RTEMS-based testing. Test cases, test fixtures, and test suites are well supported by Check with automatic test discovery to promote tests automation. It supports tests debug with a no fork mode. It has multiple output format including XML. It also have a convenient test time out feature to rule out tests take use infinite amount of time. * License: LGPL * Programming Language: C * Maturity: fairly stable * Projects: * BitlBee: http://www.bitlbee.org/ * checkmk: http://micah.cowan.name/projects/checkmk/ * ctrlproxy: http://ctrlproxy.vernstok.nl/ * Daimonin: http://sourceforge.net/projects/daimonin/ * DBMail: http://www.dbmail.org/ * Enlightenment (Eet and Eina libs): http://trac.enlightenment.org/e * EXIP: http://exip.sourceforge.net/ * Expat: http://expat.sourceforge.net/ * GNOME BuildBrigade: http://live.gnome.org/BuildBrigade/ * GStreamer: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ * GNUpdf: http://www.gnupdf.org/ * Iodine: http://code.kryo.se/iodine/ * Lasso: http://lasso.entrouvert.org/ * libspmt: https://svn.sable.mcgill.ca/sable/spmt/libspmt/ * Loudmouth: http://developer.imendio.com/projects/loudmouth/ * OpenSync (libopensync and libsyncml): http://www.opensync.org/ * Pigment: https://code.fluendo.com/pigment/trac/wiki * RAPP: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/rapp * RedStore: http://code.google.com/p/redstore/ * SCEW: http://www.nongnu.org/scew/ * SSSD: https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ * Tinymail: http://tinymail.org/ * XCB: http://xcb.freedesktop.org/ * Maintainership: * 4 Core Developers: Arien Malec, Chris Pickett, Fredrik Hugosson, and Robert Lemmen. * Last update date: 2009-9-23 * Download count: 1132 last week [wiki:CU CU] CU is a lightweight and simple unit testing framework suited for host-based testing with enriched set of assertions. It uses separate processes for each test suites to protect the address space for each test suites. In this case, for a single process RTEMS operating system, it cannot be used. CU supports tests cases and recursive test suites for tests automation. CU supports regression testing as a plus. * License: GNU Lesser General Public License v3 * Programming Language: C * Maturity: * Projects: * Maintainership: * 1 Core Developer: Daniel Fiser * Last update date: 2010-9-14 [wiki:CxxTest CxxTest] CxxTest is a unit testing framework in C++ with xUnit architecture. For example, it supports modern tests concept like test cases, test suites, and test fixtures. Also, it supports the standard XML output. It is easy to compile and highly portable because no pre-compiled library is used. It is well suited for Host-based testing. CxxTest support automatic test runner generation and independent test cases running. It supports mocking functions and mocking objects. As a plus point, it supports python scripts. However, it does not support C macros preprocessing, which has limit it largely in RTEMS based testing. * License: LGPL v2 * Programming Language: C++ * Maturity: * Projects: * Maintainership: * Current Version: CxxTest 4.0 * 4 Core Developers * Last update date: 2012-1-7 * Download count: 114 downloads last week [wiki:CuTest CuTest] CuTest is very simple unit testing framework. It can be used for host-based testing. Although it claims itself to be highly portable, it does not fit to work for RTEMS based testing. * License: GPL v2 * Programming Language: C * Maturity: * Projects: * Maintainership: * 1 Core Developer * Last update date: 2010-7-22 * Download count: 56 downloads last week [wiki:EmbUnit EmbUnit] EmbUnit is unit testing framework for embedded software.
