Dynamic languages like Java enjoy robust and powerful testing tools like JUnit and Cobertura. On the other hand, while there is no shortage of unit testing frameworks for C, the nature of C makes it difficult to make frameworks as powerful as those for other languages. In this paper, we describe ZTest, a testing framework that addresses some of these shortcomings in the C unit testing landscape. We also discuss results of its application to a medium-sized C project.
