SoftwareTesting:Tools:UnitTest

(see 343673)

Description

What is a “unit”? It can be a module, a class, a method or even a single block of code. Any encapsulation can be considered a unit and is up to the developer to define. A suite of tests can be written to test correctness of the unit and assert that a piece of code evaluates to true.
