Unit Test in LV

[Derek Price]

LabVIEW does have a NUnit-like tool available from here:

Unfortunately, I do not find LabVIEW well suited for unit testing the way that NUnit is.  It seems cumbersome and clumsy.  One thought I had was to compile my VI into a DLL and use NUnit to do the unit testing.  I do have a few years of C# experience, so this seems like an easy task for me.  It may not be for others.   For those wanting to try this, download one of the free Visual Studio Express versions from here and give it a try with NUnit:

http://www.nunit.org

I have not had a chance to do this, but this would allow daily builds with unit testing, etc.

Thanks

Check out TimeSlice at www.tslice.com. The UTool, which is one of the tools under the OverVIEW test and validation edition allows you to develop test cases to verify code function, play back these test cases for regression testing, and generate test reports. Within OverVIEW, you can bring up a project, see the test status of all project unit tests, and launch automated batch runs.

These tools evolved focusing on the biomedical, millitary, aerospace, power, and other industries, where mission-critical and/or regulated validations are required.

JKI has just released VI Tester, which is a pure LabVIEW implementation of the xUnit software testing architecture.  In VI Tester, unit tests are VIs that perform tests on other VIs.  Below, is a screenshot of the user interface running some tests.
