Ounit is the Oracle Unit Tester, a utility that helps Oracle developers unit test their code faster, easier, and more comprehensively than ever before (actually, for the first time ever).

Ounit consists of a powerful graphical interface to utPLSQL, the open source unit testing framework for the Oracle PL/SQL language. This framework offers a "cooperative paradigm" for testing: you follow utPLSQL processes and use the utPLSQL testing routines, and utPLSQL in turn runs your tests and records the results.

With Ounit 1.0, you can simply point and click your way through testing sessions, and instantly see the outcomes of your tests on the screen. The result is that you will test more frequently and more thoroughly.

Ounit is currently available at no charge to all PL/SQL developers and DBAs. Note: Ounit 1.0 does not help you build your test cases and unit test procedures. Please see utPLSQL documentation for instructions for this step.

Ounit is and will remain free to all PL/SQL developers and Oracle DBAs. Future and more sophisticated unit testing functionality (including test package generation) will be integrated into Swyg, a product that is being developed by the author of the utPLSQL framework, Steven Feuerstein.
