TUnit

TUnit is a unit testing framework geared for TinyOS and sensor networks. The philosophy surrounding the design of TUnit stems from years of accepted industry standard testing in other languages. TUnit is used daily in TinyOS Test Driven Development, decreasing the time spent manually testing and debugging software by literally hundreds of man-hours.

Open Source Testing

The TUnit unit testing framework is available open source to be used both publicly and privately.

Unit tests can be contributed by the public to the public automated unit testing system in tinyos-2.x-contrib/tests. These tests are automatically checked out and executed on several dedicated mote hardware platforms. Results and lava lamp status indicators are available live at http://www.lavalampmotemasters.com.

Privately, any group can run TUnit standalone or as an automated process in their own team development environment.
