SUnit is an automated testing framework written by Kent Beck in 1989; originally intended and often used for unit testing. It supports testing Smalltalk code via test code also written in Smalltalk.

SUnit was adapted for Java as JUnit which was notably popular. Subsequently, adaptations were created for many other languages; many also popular.

Frameworks with similar design are labeled xUnit.

History

SUnit was originally described by Beck in "Simple Smalltalk Testing: With Patterns" (1989), then published as chapter 30 "Simple Smalltalk Testing", in the book Kent Beck's Guide to Better Smalltalk by Kent Beck, Donald G. Firesmith (Editor) (Publisher: Cambridge University Press, Pub. Date: December 1998, ISBN 978-0-521-64437-2, 408pp)

-'''SUnit''' is a [[unit testing]] framework for the [[programming language]] [[Smalltalk]].  It is the original source of the [[xUnit]] design, originally written by the creator of [[Extreme Programming]], [[Kent Beck]]. SUnit allows writing tests and checking results in Smalltalk. The resulting tests are very stable, but this method has the disadvantage that testers must be able to write simple Smalltalk programs.
