SubUnit Description

A streaming protocol for test results SubUnit is a streaming protocol for test results. The protocol is human readable and easily generated and parsed. By design all the components of the protocol conceptually fit into the xUnit TestCase->TestResult interaction.SubUnit comes with command line filters to process a subunit stream and language bindings for python, C++, C and shell. Bindings are easy to writefor other languages.A number of useful things can be done easily with subunit:* Test aggregation: Tests run separately can be combined and then reported/displayed together. For instance, tests from different languages can be shown as a seamless whole.* Test archiving: A test run may be recorded and replayed later.* Test isolation: Tests that may crash or otherwise interact badly with each other can be run seperately and then aggregated, rather than interfering with each other.* Grid testing: subunit can act as the necessary serialisation and deserialiation to get test runs on distributed machines to be reported in real time.Subunit supplies the following filters:* tap2subunit - convert perl's TestAnythingProtocol to subunit.* subunit2pyunit - convert a subunit stream to pyunit test results.* subunit2gtk - display a subunit stream in a gtk window.* subunit2junitxml - convert a subunit stream to a JUnit XML representation.* subunit-filter - filter out tests from a subunit stream.* subunit-ls - list the tests present in a subunit stream.* subunit-stats - generate a summary of a subunit stream.* subunit-tags - add or remove tags from a stream.
