About:
bashunit is a lightweight, dependency-free testing framework specifically designed for Bash scripts. It provides a familiar, xUnit-style API with assertions, test doubles, and comprehensive reporting. The tool enables developers to write robust tests for shell scripts and automation pipelines without external dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Zero-dependency and portable (pure Bash)
  • xUnit-style assertions and test syntax
  • Mocking and test doubles support
  • Detailed test reports and coverage metrics
  • GitHub Actions integration
Use Cases:
  • Unit testing Bash scripts and shell functions
  • Validating CI/CD pipeline logic and automation
  • Testing Docker entrypoint scripts and system utilities
Alternatives:
  • shunit2 – More mature but older syntax; bashunit offers modern API and better DX
  • bats – Bash Automated Testing System; requires Bats core, more complex setup
