Typemock Introduces Easy Unit Testing Framework for Linux

To make testing easy and upstream the quality processes for software developers from a wide range of sectors - such as defense, medical, and finance - Typemock, a provider and pioneer of easy unit testing solutions, launched Isolator++ for Linux. Isolator++ for Linux has been developed to make testing easy for C++ on the Linux distributions, Ubuntu (News - Alert), Fedora (Red Hat) and SUSE (Novell).

According to a press release, this release depicts Typemock’s ability to offer unit testing tools and mocking frameworks for multiple platforms and enable organizations that work on Windows and Linux to benefit from one solution for both platforms.

“We’re very excited to help Linux developers unit test and perform TDD easily,” commented Eli Lopian, Typemock‘s founder and CEO. “Following the success of our Windows .NET (News - Alert) and C++ Isolation Frameworks, and with an increasing number of developers and organizations using the Linux platform, we’re delighted to now offer a single multi-platform solution that removes the complexities and friction of testing code.”

Isolator++ for Linux enables unit testing – the foundation of agile development - of any C/ C++ code (including complex code such as statics, global and non-virtual method) by allowing the test to intercept and fake behaviors. It allows developers to fake any part of the code seamlessly, without the need to redesign for testability as opposed to other unit testing solutions that require many sections of code to be re-written in order to be testable. It alters the requirement for manual validation with automatic C++ unit tests.

This offers full code integrity before the code reaches QA. The launch of Isolator++ for Linux shows Typemock’s ability to now offer multi-platform easy unit testing solutions for both Linux developers in addition to Windows C++ and .NET. This gives organizations the flexibility to implement unit testing practices in any of these development environments. 

The company has developed this product considering the high demand for smart phones and other advanced technologies the use of C++ is on the rise. Writing correct, secure code is essential, especially for the military, avionics, automotive and medical device industries, where an error in the code can be critical.

In other company news, TMCnet reported that Typemock launched Typemock Unit Testing Academy for its business partners taking place in Oslo, Norway.
