There's a number of contenders for a test framework up on the emacs wiki page for Unit Testing: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/UnitTesting But it's not clear if anyone has made any effort toward evaluating them. After a quick look at their write-ups, none of them grab my attention as being obvious contenders. For example, it doesn't look to me like any of them use TAP, the "Test Anything Protocol": http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I am using a modified version of ert.el for testing nXhtml. The modifications adds things like running commands and doing fontification. The modified version is part of the nXhtml distribution. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Could we say that ert.el is the leading contender? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
