Check: a unit test framework for C

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.

Mockrunner is a lightweight framework for unit testing applications in the J2EE environment. It supports servlets, filters, tag classes and Struts actions. It includes a JDBC a JMS and a JCA test framework and can be used to test EJB based applications.

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.

TUT performs all required tasks that one can expect from unit test framework, but at the same time is small and robust (about 2.5k SLOC with 98% self-test coverage). Deploying TUT is very fast, since it is a header-only library.

Unit++ is a C++ framework in the spirit of junit, but implemented from scratch in C++. This is done to work better with the C++ world, than a port of the Java version can.

CxTest is a JUnit/cppUnit/xUnit-like unit test framework for C. It is extremely portable since it doesn't depend on RTTI, exception handling or any libraries (including standard ones)

"Yet Another Do-It-Yourself (Test) Automation Framework" specification. Use or modify one of the existing software implementations (hosted/referenced here), or implement the framework yourself. Download and read the spec for more details.

CloudTest is a redefined unit testing approach and methodology, which can make your testing jobs become much more easy and efficient. It is a pure java lightweight framework integrated test cases management, test data management, assert management, automation regression, performance monitor and test report in one.

Advanced C/C++ library(ACL) for UNIX-like OS and WIN32 OS, including sync/async/ssl iostream for net/file, thread pool, process pool, db pool, server framework, event, memory, string, array/hash/ring/list, xml and json parser, http/smtp/icmp protocol, SSL/TLS, C unit test, etc

AceUnit (Advanced C and Embedded Unit): a comfortable C code unit test framework. AceUnit is JUnit 4.x style, easy, modular and flexible. AceUnit can be used in resource constraint environments, e.g. embedded software development.

AsUnit is the only open-source unit test framework that supports Flash Players 6, 7, 8 and 9.

AutoTest is a test management, test execution and test result report application written in Java. It can be customized to support a broad range of test execution frameworks. A user guide and download instructions are available at http://autote.sourceforge.net/

Automated Test Framework (ATF) is a functional test framework built on top of the existing Perl test harness. Currently it provides a simple interface for running tests in command line/shell environments on local and remote test target systems. The overall goal is to provide a simplified domain specific embedded language for testing. This is being published primarily to accompany a presentation on a test framework being used for verification of various firmware components that must operate together.

Breeze is a build and test automation framework for software developers. It is written in Ruby and can be extended to include tasks that interact with other tools such as source code repositories, compilers, test frameworks, and installers.

CGI::Test - CGI regression test framework. A CPAN perl module

C++ unit test framework, allowing you to write tests with minimal effort. Scales to large projects with thousands of tests. Supports suites and running of subsets of tests using globbing to match test names.

A simple but fairly complete unit test framework for C in a single header file. Features fixtures, test suites and integration with xcode!

IMPORTANT: This project is no longer maintained. All the effort is targeted on project Radargun: http://radargun.sourceforge.net

CppUtx is a unit test framework for C++ based on the article `Cpp Utx Overview` written by Robert DiFalco and some parts of CxxTest. It depends on the standard and the boost library.

Dredd is a language-agnostic command-line tool for validating API description documents against the backend implementation of the API. Dredd reads your API description and step by step validates whether your API implementation replies with responses as they are described in the documentation. Dredd supports writing hooks — a glue code for each test setup and teardown.

Firefly's Beetroot is a regression tester designed with ease of use in mind. The only requirement to operate it is some basic knowledge of the UNIX shell. Note that this is not a unit test framework. Testing occurs at program granularity, not at a level of a function. This is meant to be used only with software with a stable user interface. Changes in the interface could break your tests. Be warned.

munit is a small test framework for GNU makefiles, inspired by the JUnit project. Since GNU make 3.80, makefiles can become very complex (recursive functions, dynamic contents via eval() etc.). munit has been developed to make it easy to test them.

This framework supports a wide variety of model-based GUI testing techniques. The innovation lies in the architecture of GUITAR, which uses plug-ins to support flexibility and extensibility. Software developers and quality assurance engineers may use this architecture to create new toolchains, new workflows based on the toolchains, and plug in a variety of measurement tools to conduct GUI testing. More detail is presented in this publication: GUITAR: An Innovative Tool for Automated Testing of GUI-driven Software. Bao N. Nguyen, Bryan Robbins, Ishan Banerjee, and Atif Memon. Automated Software Engineering Journal. p.21, 1. 2014

JDistUnit is a test framework for distributed unit testing with Java (think "JUnit on multiple computers at once"), useful for load and stress testing. Features hot deployment of test cases to the remote test servers.
