JUnit

JUnit is a unit test framework for the Java programming language. Created by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma, JUnit is one, and arguably the most successful, of the xUnit family of frameworks that originated with Kent Beck s sUnit. JUnit has spawned its own ecosystem of [http://www.junit.org/news/extension/index.htm JUnit extensions].

Experience gained with JUnit has been important in the development of test-driven development, and as a result, some knowledge of JUnit is often presumed in discussions of test-driven development, for example in the book Test-Driven Development: By Example , ISBN 0-321-14653-0 by Kent Beck.

JUnit has been ported to other languages, including C Sharp (NUnit) and C plus plus (CppUnit). This family of unit testing frameworks is referred to collectively as XUnit.
