BugEye Unit Testing Framework / News: Recent posts

BugEye is a unit testing framework with advanced features such as composite tests, test sequencing, file management, output capturing, and elaborate reporting. The tests are generated from a hybrid of XML and code. The test output is also XML, allowing extensive styling using XSLT.

The BugEye 1.0 Alpha 1 release supports C#. (Other supported languages not included in the release are Java, JavaScript, and Visual Basic.)... read more

BugEye now has a Visual Basic translation! With this addition, BugEye is four languages strong. Although it still needs thorough testing, it was relatively easy to translate. Since I don't actively use VB, I'll need some early adopters to work with it.

I just checked in the new BugEye Viewer for C#! It makes executing and viewing test suites mondo easy. It makes use of the embedded Web browser available in .NET 2.0.

I was also looking into what it would take to have a Java version of the Viewer, and there are a few options. Fortunately, JavaScript doesn't need any special viewer: just drop the file on a Web browser and it's done!

Some great new enhancements have been to BugEye over the past couple of weeks. The most significant of them is the addition of the JavaScript translation. With browser XSLT processing and DHTML, JavaScript is by far the easiest BugEye environment to setup. A JavaScript test suite only needs to be loaded into a browser and the tests are executed and the report is generated, all in one step.

Other notable enhancements include reusable test items, metadata tags, <setup> and <finally> elements for composite test items, and embedded the report XSLT file in the BugEye command line program.
