| 27 | <h2>PNUnit</h2>
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | <p><b>PNUnit</b> stands for "Parallel NUnit." It is an extension of NUNit
|
|---|
| 30 | developed by Pablo Santos Luaces and his team at Codice Software for
|
|---|
| 31 | their internal use in testing the Plastic (TM) Software Configuration
|
|---|
| 32 | Management System. Codice released PNUnit to the community in 2007.
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <p>As part of the NUnit 2.5 release, we worked with the NUnit and PNUnit
|
|---|
| 35 | teams worked together to make PNUnit work with NUnit without any modifications.
|
|---|
| 36 | PNUnit is now included in the NUnit distribution.
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | <h3>How it Works</h3>
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | <p><b>PNUnit</b> is not intended for "casual" parallelism merely to
|
|---|
| 41 | make the tests run faster. Rather, it's intended as a way to test
|
|---|
| 42 | applications composed of distributed, communicating components. Tests
|
|---|
| 43 | of each component run in parallel and use memory barriers to synchronize
|
|---|
| 44 | their operation.
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | <p>PNUnit uses a special executable to launch its tests.
|
|---|
| 47 | The launcher reads an xml file that specifies the tests to be
|
|---|
| 48 | executed and where they should run, whether on the same machine or
|
|---|
| 49 | on another machine on the network.
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | <p>For more information about using PNUnit, consult the
|
|---|
| 52 | <a href="http://www.codicesoftware.com/infocenter/technical-articles/pnunit.aspx">documentation</a>
|
|---|
| 53 | at <a href="http://www.codicesoftware.com">www.codicesoftware.com</a>
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | <h3>Future Plans</h3>
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | <p>PNUnit will be integrated with NUnit so that parallel, distributed tests
|
|---|
| 58 | may be used through the normal NUnit console or gui runners.
