+
+A collection of thoughts with respect to unit testing.
+
+We definitely want to add unit test suites to our code base.
+
+We should select a tool that we like to use, and that is supported (not
+abandoned).
+
+ * [SC
+ Test](http://web.archive.org/web/20021204193607/sc-archive.codesourcery.com/sc_test)
+
+ * [DejaGnu](http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/) /
+ [Expect](http://expect.nist.gov/)
+
+ * used by the [[GCC testsuite|gcc]], [[GDB testsuite|gdb]],
+ [[binutils testsuite|binutils]], etc.
+
+ * The [[glibc testsuite|glibc]] has a home-grown system (Makefile-based),
+ likewise does the [[Open_POSIX_Test_Suite]].
+
+ * [Kyua](http://code.google.com/p/kyua/) (and its predecessor [ATF](http://www.NetBSD.org/~jmmv/atf/)).
+
+ * Primarily used by NetBSD as its testing framework; FreeBSD is in the process of adopting it.
+
+ * Provides bindings to write tests in C, C++ and POSIX shell. Lua is planned.
+
+ * Builds and runs on many different Unix-based operating systems.
+
+ * [check](http://check.sourceforge.net/)
+
+ * used by some GNU packages, for example GNU PDF (Jose E. Marchesi)
+
+ * CodeSourcery's [QMTest](http://www.codesourcery.com/qmtest)
+
+ * useb by?

+
+ * [Git](http://git-scm.com/) has an elaborate unit testsuite, which is also
+ used in [Notmuch](http://notmuchmail.org/).
