9.1 FiveAM

“Common Lisp regression testing framework”

FiveAM is a Test Framework whose goal is to be as simple as possible.

• FiveAM API
• FiveAM on GitHub
• FiveAM on Common-Lisp.net
• FiveAM Documentation

  The documentation can be found in the docstrings, start with the package :it.bese.fiveam (nicknamed 5AM).

  FiveAM is a simple (as far as writing and running tests goes) regression testing framework. It has been designed with Common Lisp’s interactive development model in mind.

FiveAM Features

• Test and test suite hierarchies allow test to be organized into hierarchies to ease running.
• Functions for re-running recently run tests.
• Inter-test dependencies.
• Specification based testing ala QuickCheck.
• Redefined macros are instantly seen by the test code, no explicit recompilation required. (this is exactly what LispUnit and FReT do)
