RedUnit is a free, open source unit testing framework for Red language

RedUnit

RedUnit is a free, open source unit testing framework for Red language. Inspired by xUnit, nUnit, PhpUnit and other similar libraries.

Motivation

The main reason is the possibility to building your own projects faster and easier.

The TDD (test driven-development) approach is now possible using the RedUnit tool, so you can eliminate bad cases at the early stage.

Docs

• Getting started - usage, assertions and error handling

Running the tests

The RedUnit unit test framework obviously can't test itself - so for now it does not have any tests. In the future releases I plan to write some simple scripts - to be able to test particular parts of RedUnit.

Compatibility

Project was tested with red-26may24-b26ec9334.

Features (Roadmap)

• v 0.0.1-Snapshot special assertion for expected error
• v 0.0.1-Alpha1 logic assertions for tests
• v 0.0.1-Alpha2 reducing tests execution time, using string buffer instead of console output
• v 0.0.1-RC splitting script into modules
• v 0.0.1 Rebuilding whole project, because of dividing project into more repositories
• v 0.0.2 running tests from many files at once
• v 0.0.3 redesigning the console output for statuses of tests
• v 0.0.4 ability to mark tests as incomplete/skipped/risky
• v 0.0.5 data providers for testing a huge sets of data
• v 0.0.6 tests execution from compiled lib as CLI
• v 0.0.7 extending expected-error assertion by defining a type of error we expect
• v 0.0.8 simple mocks for objects and methods
• v 0.0.9 'method' assertions for mocks - checking/expecting the mock method was executed
• v 0.1.0 'argument' assertions for mock methods - checking/expecting an arguments of mock methods
• v 0.1.1 'return' assertions for mock methods - forcing/expecting that mock method will return specific value
• v 0.1.2 - 0.1.9 refactoring, goal: increase execution time and readability
• v 0.2.0 redesigning an API of all public methods - goal: cohesion
• v 0.3.0 module to detect code coverage of tested objects

Historical note

This tool was earlier a part of various tools, that I've created for Red language. When project became bigger, it was divided into a independent repositories like this.
