DUnitX is a new test framework, taking ideas from DUnit, NUnit and other test frameworks. It is designed to work with Delphi 2010 or later, it makes use of language/RTL features that are not available in older versions of Delphi.

• Any class can contain tests
• Attribute based testing
• An extensive Assert Class
• Setup and TearDown per test method and per test fixture.
• API Documented using Xml-Doc
• Console Based Runner
• XML Logging
  • produces output compatible with NUnit (compatible with CI servers like ContinuaCI)
  • produces output compatible with JUnit (compatible with Gitlab CI)
• Cross platform currently supporting:
  • Win32,Win64 and OSX Compilers.
• Limited backwards compatibility with DUnit test classes.
• Wizard for creating new tests.

This is far from a complete list, but a few planned features are listed here to help indicate future direction.

• GUI Test Runner - Use TestInsight
• Multi-threaded tests - the ability to have test fixtures run in their own threads.
• Remote logging - Simple way to run tests on remote machines (just an idea at this point)
• Data driven test cases - the ability to provide a test method with a data source and test each entry in the data source. The data source will be virtualised so it can be anything (text file, db table etc).

• In order to workaround the Delphi XE3 Bug, you need to add the unit DUnitX.Init to your test projects.
• To use this GitHub version of DUnitX in place of the bundled version included with RAD Studio, it’s pretty simple by following these steps (as the bundled version is quite a few commits behind this repo):
  • Remove the Embarcadero Unit test package (DUnitXIDEExpertXXX.bpl) from the installed packages list.
  • In the cloned repo, open DUnitX_IDE_Expert_XXXX.dproj (matching your Delphi version), compile and install the package.
  • In your unit test projects, adjust your search paths to point to the repo\Source folder.

A Delphi Praxis Forum has been setup to discuss DUnitX.
