GHUnit – Unit Testing and More

URL:  http://github.com/gabriel/gh-unit

Code Quality: Production Ready

Description: GH-Unit, developed by Gabriel Handford, is a testing framework whose stated goals are:

  • To runs unit tests within Xcode, allowing you to fully utilize the XCode Debugger.
  • Ability to run from Makefiles or the command line.
  • A simple GUI to help you visualize your tests.
  • Show stack traces.
  • Be embeddable as a framework (using @rpath) for Mac OSX apps, or as a static library in your iPhone projects.
GH-Unit wraps  the Google Toolbox for Mac and SenTestCase so you can use either or both test frameworks in your code.  Its GUI makes running unit tests under Xcode feel a lot more like other platforms (e.g. the JUnit test runner) where you get much more direct red/green, pass/fail feedback than is traditional with Xcode.   (One can get a similar  GUI test runner with Martin Pilkinton’s OCRunner, but it is a stand-alone app and not integrated into your OSX or iPhone app like like GH-Unit’s test runner)

GH-Unit is acively developed; discussion can be found on Google Groups  at: http://groups.google.com/group/ghunit
