Original Kurzfassung:
Unit testing is a scalable and effective way to uncover software
faults. In the JNuke project, automated regression
tests combined with coverage measurement ensured high
code quality throughout the project. By using a custom testing
environment, functionality was extended beyond what is
commonly available by unit test frameworks. Low-overhead
memory leak detection was implemented through wrapping.
Automated support for log files made it possible to track the
internal state of objects, which is often much more expedient
than writing test code. These extensions allowed the easyto-
use unit test framework to scale up to large-scale tests.
The techniques can be ported to existing test frameworks.
