SUnit

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

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

Frameworks with similar design are labeled xUnit.
