NE-Unit Description

Unit testing framework that works with any language in which you can write an executable program that can run on UNIX NE-Unit is a free and open source unit testing framework, that supports multiple programming languages through back-ends and allows multiple interfaces through front-ends.NE-Unit was written out of frustration about the existing C and C++ unit tests, which would let the whole test crash if just a single test crashed. The C-backend will catch a crash and report this to the testing front-end. NE-Unit consists of a testing front-end (sometimes called the runner)which will call an executable program. This program can be written in anylanguage, but it must use a certain testing API (the back-end). This designmakes it possible to test mixed language software projects.The back-end communicates with the front-end by sending it messages on stderr. These messages have a special format that is parsed by the front-end.
