The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is a framework designed to improve the level of reuse and automation in test cases and test environments. The goal of STAF is to provide a complete end-to-end automation solution for testers.

GoogleTest is Google's C++ mocking and test framework. It's used by many internal projects at Google, as well as a number of notable projects such as The Chromium projects, the OpenCV computer vision library, and the LLVM compiler. This GoogleTest project is actually a union of what used to be two separate projects: the old GoogleTest and GoogleMock, an extension of GoogleTest for writing and using C++ mock classes. Since they were so closely related, they were merged to create an even better GoogleTest. GoogleTest features an xUnit test framework, a rich set of assertions, user-defined assertions, death tests, among many others. It's been used on a variety of platforms, including Cygwin, Symbian, MinGW and PlatformIO.

Seagull is a multi-protocol traffic generator. Especially targeted towards IMS, Seagull supports Diameter (RFC3588 and all applications) over TCP/SCTP and IPv4/IPv6 , TCAP (over SS7 or Sigtran), XCAP over HTTP and Radius.

DUMA (Detect Unintended Memory Access) is a multi-platform memory debugging library. It can detect memory leaks and buffer overruns (or underruns) in a malloc() / new memory buffer. DUMA is a fork of Bruce Perens' Electric Fence library. sourceforge isn't maintained for many years! suggest you want to look at https://github.com/johnsonjh/duma

pamtester is a tiny utility program to test the pluggable authentication modules (PAM) facility, specifically designed to help PAM module authors to intensively test their own modules.

FORTRAN Unit Test Framework, written in FORTRAN 95. So that all FORTRAN features can be tested. FRUIT has assertion, fixture, setup, teardown, report, spec, driver generation. Rake used as build tool. Tutorials at http://fortranxunit.wiki.sourceforge.net The core testing part is in FORTRAN, this part can be used independent of the Ruby codes. The Ruby code is to make fixtures and reports easier. Rake is to build the project elegantly. This project also demonstrate a new way to build mixed language code in an alternative way than Make. Most of the FORTRAN are important in nature, used in nuclear and aerospace codes, etc, and maintained and written actively. Please help to bring TDD practices to the FORTRAN community. The change could be very hard, personally, I quit, since I could not make the change. I hope your organization will be successful. Enjoy a cup of fruit while maintaining FORTRAN ! Andrew Hang Chen and other maintainers who feel importance of TDD in cr

BEYE (Binary EYE) is a free, portable, advanced file viewer with built-in editor for binary, hexadecimal and disassembler modes. It contains a highlight AVR/Java/i86-AMD64/ARM-XScale/PPC-64 and other disassembler, full preview of MZ,NE,PE,ELF and other.

Mstone is a mail performance measurement system. It can simultaneously test SMTP, POP, IMAP, and some HTML based systems. It measures transaction latency in multiple stages, and graphs the combined results from multiple clients.

httest is a script based tool for testing and benchmarking web applications, web servers, proxy servers and web browsers. httest can emulate clients and servers in the same test script, very useful for testing proxys.

A little super-simple but powerful soap client that offers an easy way to send soap request to a server (from file or stdin), test server robustness by sending same request on multiple threads and eventually see the whole http conversation. If you need a quick and easy way to do soapcalls from your terminal or script, this tool is for you.

This is a software/hardware development tool that allows the user to send strings on an interface (parallel,serial, network or other), specified in hexadecimal or strings or a combination of these. The strings can be retrieved/stored from/to a file.

QTest is a perl-based test framework for testing programs written in any language. It supports a "design for testability" mentality, user-defined test coverage, filters, and multithreading support. Includes documentation.

An open source network stress testing and denial-of-service attack application, initially developed by Samin Yasar. The idea behind BanglaDos is that it can allow you to participate in attacks even if you've no clue how to hack. It send thousand of garbage request to web servers like visa.com , paypal.com to shut them down. If many computers using BanglaDos pointed at a single site to make a real impact, letting a central administrator press the big button of website destruction makes the whole network more effective. And last but not the least, no one can detect you. DISCLAIMER: USE ON YOUR OWN RISK.

IPv6 CARE, "IPv6 Compliant Automatic Runtime Environment", provides an environment where applications instantly become IPv6-compliant ('patch' mode, see RFC6535). It can also generate a diagnosis about the IPv6 compliance of an application ('check' mode). It uses an LD_PRELOAD-based library injection technique.

Lua Selenium Driver is a Selenium 1 (Selenium RC) client library that provide a programming interface (API), i.e., a set of functions, which run Selenium commands. Within each interface, there is a programming function that supports each Selenese command.

Testing complex systems calls for clear task management and control covering everything from defining test plans to writing test cases and recording results. QATraq provides the framework for task management and control, across the whole test process.

Records key strokes, mouse clicks and movement, then play back. Can do sub-program.

Automated Test Framework for Embedded Software: A system to perform test scripts 'in system' on embedded software. It uses Python as a high level description language and interfaces with GDB to communicate with the embedded platform.

Artifical World simulator, it simulate virtual 3D world and execute IA programs. It have API for programming IAs in C++. it use Irrlicht as 3D engine.

BP-Sim allows users to perform an extensive range of tests across the chain of payment services and thus identify potential causes of failures before launching payment systems into production. BP-Sim consists of following modules: BP-Source, BP-Host, BP-HSM and BP-SeeEMV. BP-Source and BP-Host are payment transaction simulators supporting formats as: APACS30, AS2805, many ISO8583 dialects, IFSF, SPDH, TCMP. Together with industry-standard cryptography, multi-platform support, configurable transaction load up to 2000 TPS. BP-Sim HSM module provides an adequate TCP/IP simulation of the Thales Hardware Security Mod. BP-SeeEMV simulates the steps involved in an EMV transaction that take place in the EMV terminal and the Issuer Server (when conducted online). Module can process a transaction one step at a time in step-by-step mode or to certain break-point.

The BP-Tools set consist from applications supporting EFT testing, benchmarking and transaction service development. BP-Tools suite currently consists of following three components: - BP-CCALC: Cryptographic Calculator - BP-CardEdit: Thales P3 Input/Output file editor - BP-EMVT: EMV Tool - BP-HCMD: Thales HSM Commander

BeanClipse is a NetBeans plugin for Eclipse: NetBeans runs embedded within the Eclipse platform as a plugin offering the best of both worlds to Java developers. May be just a joke ;-) .... Check also it's twin at : http://sf.net/projects/netclipse

BugUnit extends JUnit with the concept of a 'bug'. Multiple tests test one bug, if one test fails the bug is open. Methods like assertEquals("PRJ-123",i,10) will flag bug PRJ-123 as open or closed in Jira and a bug-centric HTML summary.

CUBRID QA project contains a test-automation tool and many kinds of test cases for CUBRID database.
