XUnit has been announced with the new release of RefleX, the Active Tags engine. http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/xunit.html XUnit is to XML-oriented Programming as JUnit is to Java programs : you run the program to test with given datas, and check that the result get are those expected. The programs that you can test with XUnit are : -Active Tags programs, that is to say programs made of XML tags -XSLT stylesheets : XUnit can help you to test your templates individually -Java programs that are dealing with XML datas : just expose your class as a tag inside the engine and you will be able to test it easily with XUnit Like JUnit, there are assertions that check basic types such as : <xunit:assert-boolean-equals>, <xunit:assert-number-equals>, and <xunit:assert-string-equals>. Unlike JUnit, there are also assertions that check types related to XML such as : <xunit:assert-node-equals> and <xunit:assert-attributes-equals>. There is also a mean for testing XSLT templates with <xunit:apply-xslt-template>. Example : <xunit:test-case name="myTest" label="My test"> <!--run whatever to test here...--> <do:it-like-this/> <!--...say that this application is producing an XML file--> <!--retrieve the result and the output expected--> <xcl:parse name="result" source="purchase-order.xml"/> <xcl:parse name="output-expected" source="purchase-order-expected.xml"/> <!--check if they are equals--> <xunit:assert-node-equals result="{ $result }" expected="{ $output-expected }" recurse="true"/> </xunit:test-case> If some nodes differ, you'll have the differences notified in the error report that you can transform to HTML, as shown in the tutorial available with the full distribution of RefleX.
