Continuous Testing

http://pag.csail.mit.edu/continuoustesting/

Description:

Continuous testing uses excess cycles on a workstation to continuously run regression tests in the background, providing rapid feedback about test failures as source code is edited. It reduces the time and energy required to keep code well-tested, and prevents regression errors from persisting uncaught for long periods of time.

Requirement:

OS Independent (Written in an interpreted language)

Daedalos JUnit Extensions

http://www.jup-net.de/djux/

Description:

Daedalos JUnitExtensions make it possible to define test resources as known from the Smalltalk SUnit. Unit tests are speeded up by using test resources, because time-consuming initializations are only done once and remain active over a series of tests. As an example, a database connection is opened before executing the first unit test and can be accessed during the whole testing circle. It isn't necessary to re-open the database connection before a unit test is executed.
