Valadate
========

Valadate is a unit testing framework based on GLib Testing. It is primarily
intended for testing code written in Vala, but can be used with any
GObject-based code.

Currently hosted just on Gitorius: http://gitorious.org/valadate

Features
--------

  * Automatic test discovery like JUnit or .NET testing framework.
    
    Tests can be automatically found in a shared library using either
    .vapi or .gir file.

  * Running tests for all parameters from specific set.

    A test fixture can define properties and sets of values for them and the
    discovered test methods will automatically be run for all of them.

  * Utility functions for waiting in a main loop until specified event or
    timeout occurs.

  * Support for asynchronous tests. Method declared async in vala will be
    automatically run under main loop until completion or configurable
    timeout.

    With support for initializing the temporary directory by storing data,
    copying specified files there, and running a shell snippet.
