A new unit testing framework for enhanced software development methodologies

Unit testing is a method for validating that the source code of a program is working properly. In an ideal situation, each test case is independent from the others. Thus when applied to all parts of the code under development, it makes the whole code more reliable.Although unit testing is used widely, there is no specialized unit testing tool for web- based applications. We developed a new unit testing framework called YUnit which facilitates mobile & web developer's work, which can measure the performance of source code and allows us to compare with previous test results.The main goal of YUnit is demonstrating how, much of the work which people do manually during conventional testing, will be done automatically with the advanced unit testing tools, especially in web applications.A brief survey on unit testing and unit testing frameworks, design, implementation and evaluation of entire YUnit system are presented in this thesis. In addition, suggestions to enhance the system are presented.
