Open Source Test Frameworks

Dredd is a language-agnostic command-line tool for validating API description documents against the backend implementation of the API. Dredd reads your API description and step by step validates whether your API implementation replies with responses as they are described in the documentation. Dredd supports writing hooks — a glue code for each test setup and teardown.

This framework supports a wide variety of model-based GUI testing techniques. The innovation lies in the architecture of GUITAR, which uses plug-ins to support flexibility and extensibility. Software developers and quality assurance engineers may use this architecture to create new toolchains, new workflows based on the toolchains, and plug in a variety of measurement tools to conduct GUI testing. More detail is presented in this publication: GUITAR: An Innovative Tool for Automated Testing of GUI-driven Software. Bao N. Nguyen, Bryan Robbins, Ishan Banerjee, and Atif Memon. Automated Software Engineering Journal. p.21, 1. 2014

C++ unit test framework, allowing you to write tests with minimal effort. Scales to large projects with thousands of tests. Supports suites and running of subsets of tests using globbing to match test names.

AceUnit (Advanced C and Embedded Unit): a comfortable C code unit test framework. AceUnit is JUnit 4.x style, easy, modular and flexible. AceUnit can be used in resource constraint environments, e.g. embedded software development.

NatUnit is a Unit-Test-Framework for Natural. Natural is a 4GL programming language from Software AG (SAG).

A simple but fairly complete unit test framework for C in a single header file. Features fixtures, test suites and integration with xcode!

Unit++ is a C++ framework in the spirit of junit, but implemented from scratch in C++. This is done to work better with the C++ world, than a port of the Java version can.

JavaScript Unit Test Framework

IMPORTANT: This project is no longer maintained. All the effort is targeted on project Radargun: http://radargun.sourceforge.net

CppUtx is a unit test framework for C++ based on the article `Cpp Utx Overview` written by Robert DiFalco and some parts of CxxTest. It depends on the standard and the boost library.

munit is a small test framework for GNU makefiles, inspired by the JUnit project. Since GNU make 3.80, makefiles can become very complex (recursive functions, dynamic contents via eval() etc.). munit has been developed to make it easy to test them.

JDistUnit is a test framework for distributed unit testing with Java (think "JUnit on multiple computers at once"), useful for load and stress testing. Features hot deployment of test cases to the remote test servers.

JMUnit is a Java ME (J2ME) unit test framework based on JUnit. It supports JUnit-like test cases and test suites. Tests can be run in a device, in an emulator or as Ant tasks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The JMUnit project will be merged with the J2MEUnit project.

A test framework for penetration testing Java classes and methods with randomized parameters and testing the results.

Koarse Grind has been rewritten in Kotlin (hence the 'K'). It's new home is here: https://github.com/william-hood/koarse-grind-kotlin __________________________________ Test Automation framework for Kotlin/Java with an integrated web-based user interface. It is intended for larger-grained testing of an installed & configured product, rather than unit testing.

Lusca is a test-framework for testing network applications under unix-like operating systems. Provides remote equipment control, automated script execution, event logging and more.

Multithreaded JUnit Test Framework. An extension to JUnit that allows classes to be tested for both thread-safety and performance.

Maveryx is an innovative Test Automation Framework for Java GUI-based applications. It eliminates the GUI Maps dependency by providing a new dynamic GUI objects handling and an expert system detecting and managing AUT changes and defects at runtime.

Metatest - a simple and elegant Python framework for writing tests

Mobility is a gem for storing and retrieving translations as attributes on a class. These translations could be the content of blog posts, captions on images, tags on bookmarks, or anything else you might want to store in different languages. Storage of translations is handled by customizable "backends" which encapsulate different storage strategies. The default way to store translations is to put them all in a set of two shared tables, but many alternatives are also supported, including translatable columns and model translation tables, as well as database-specific storage solutions such as json/jsonb and Hstore (for PostgreSQL).

Mockrunner is a lightweight framework for unit testing applications in the J2EE environment. It supports servlets, filters, tag classes and Struts actions. It includes a JDBC a JMS and a JCA test framework and can be used to test EJB based applications.

PHPTools is a set of php modules. The tools are not intended to make development faster but safer. Features include: Type safety, Logging, Database abstraction, HTML abstraction, Test framework, Language-by-file, File handling, Date handling

Parameterized Unit Test Framework is an open-sourced PUT library for JUnit 4. This project is developed in my spare time and currently updated actively. Core features: 1. Separation of test data from test code 2. Annotation support 3. Automated test parameter injection 4. Dedicated test runner

PySys is a Python based framework for the organisation and execution of system level automated and manual testcases. PROJECT MOVED: As of April 2019, PySys has moved to GitHub and is no longer maintained on SourceForge, so for the development project go to https://github.com/pysys-test/pysys-test or for end-users of PySys go to https://pypi.org/project/PySys/

The PyJTF supports the test-driven development of Javascript code using tests written in Python. It executes the code under test in the IE environment under Windows (Win32). Allows greater productivity in testing Javascript code.
