DUnit:
An Xtreme testing framework for Borland Delphi programs

DUnit is an Xtreme testing framework for Borland Delphi programs. It was originally inspired on the JUnit framework written in Java by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma, but has evolved into a tool that uses much more of the potential of Delphi to be much more useful to Delphi developers.

You can read all about Xtreme Testing and Extreme Programming from this site.

Juanco Anez wrote the original code and an article featured in the Borland Community Developer News. There's a copy of the article here.

Atlassian has kindly provided us with an open-source license to their powerfull issue tracker Jira. At DUnit 's Jira page you'll be able to monitor the project's progress, post bugs or feature requests, and sign up for contributing to the project.
