Techniques for testing production code include providing a common source unit having production source code and test source code, the test source code having test methods for testing the production source code. Executable production code is produced based on the production source code and executable test code is produced based on the test source code. A global switch specifies whether to load the executable test code with the executable production code.

Language integrated unit testing

Techniques for test flow control include providing a test hierarchy, the test hierarchy includes a collection of test methods, each test method calling test assertion methods for checking the correctness of production code, and each test assertion call defines the test execution flow within the test hierarchy in an event of a failure. The flow inside the test hierarchy is controlled according to a parameter of the test assertion method call, in response to the event.
