    Embunit

    Embunit is a unit testing tool for programmers and testers developing software in C or C++. It is aimed at embedded software development, but can be used to create unit tests for any software written in C or C++. Embunit eliminates the mundane, repetitive aspects of writing unit tests, leaving you free to concentrate on defining the test behaviour. This is achieved by specifying a sequence of actions as shown in the example screenshot below. Embunit generates the unit test source code automatically. Embunit has been developed with flexibility in mind, and can be customised to create unit tests for virtually any hardware platform; even the smallest microcontrollers. It is not tied to any specific toolset and is designed to accommodate the common limitations of embedded C++ compilers.
