...TAP, the Test Anything Protocol, is a standard output format for software unit test frameworks that was originally designed for Perl, but can serve other languages. It has a rich number of tools ("harnesses") that parse TAP formatted output and do useful things with it. TAP, however, is equally human-readable. The name cipra (pronounced /ˈʃi.pɾaː/ "SHEE-prah") comes from the lojban phrase "lo cipra", which means "the test". It is properly written with an initial minuscule 'c', even when at the start of a sentence.

NovaProva is a unit testing framework for C (and later C++). In other words it discovers tests, runs them in various ways, detects failures in them, and reports the failures out to a human. There are many other such frameworks for many languages, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit Notably, we use the CUnit today in the Cyrus IMAP server, and it was CUnit's many pain points that inspired my work on NovaProva.
