Other voices: Unit testing XSLT and XQuery

Just like Java developers use JUnit and .NET developers NUnit, it might be a good idea for XML developers to test their XSLTs and XQueries with a specialized XSLT Unit test suite. The idea is not new, but the implementations are improving. Instead of testing one whole XSLT, it is also possible to test parts of XSLTs. And this using the technology of preference: XSLT! (what else?)

A noteworthy implementation is written by Florent Georges.

Thanks for the link, Adriaan ;-)

Actually the implementation that is on my website for now is quite old. I am working on it (among other things) and hope to release a new version (with a new assertion system) in the following months (I hope still in 2008).

All the best, -- Florent
