Uno: The simplest unit testing framework possible!

• One file uno.js
• One function uno
• No dependencies
• Results are printed to console.log

How to test functions

Example: Math.round function:

uno(Math.round, [1.5], 2)

Output:

   logs:  "Uno test passed: round(1.5) == 2"
returns:  true

Usage:

uno(name, fn, args, expected)

• name (optional) The name of the test. Excepts {inputs}, see below.
• fn The function to test
• args A list of arguments passed to fn
• expected What fn(args) should return

How to test methods

Example: Date object:

var date = new Date("October 31, 2012");
uno(date, date.getFullYear, [], 2012)

Output:

   logs:  "Uno test passed: object.getFullYear() == 2012"
returns:  true

Usage:

uno(name, object, method, args, expected)

• name (optional) The name of the test. Excepts {inputs}, see below.
• object The object to test
• method The method to test (in the context of object)
• args A list of arguments passed to method
• expected What object.method(args) should return

{inputs}

All name options support {input} strings. Here is a full list:

{method}             // alias: {function} {fn} {f}
{args}               // alias: {arguments} {input} {in}
{result}             // alias: {output} {out}
{expected}

Example: Math.round function with custom name

uno('Math.{fn}({args}), result: {result}, expected: {expected}', Math.round, [1.5], 2)

Output:

   logs:  "Uno test passed: Math.round(1.5), result: 2, expected: 2]"
returns:  true

Example: Date object with a custom name:

var date = new Date("October 31, 2012");
uno('date.{method}({args}) == {expected}', date, date.getFullYear, [], 2012)

Output:

   logs:  "Uno test passed: date.getFullYear() == 2012"
returns:  true

Full {input} list

How to test values

(Almost done coding this)

How to profile

(Still coding this one)

But wait... there is more!

• Uno hooks into other unit testing frameworks and does the right thing to make them work too.
• Uno auto names tests using the function name and arguments

Supported unit testing frameworks

• qunit (close to finished)
• fireunit (close to finished)
• junit (just starting support)

Install by source

• uno.js

Install to node

npm install uno

Usage in node

uno = require('uno')

uno(Math.round, [1.5], 2)      // logs: "Uno test passed: round(1.5) == 2"
