Twire - Unit testing made easy

[sigmasoldier 0]

Twire (Testing Wire) is a small and simple unit testing API made for running automated tests, this is useful if you're in the need of testing every time if your new added features, or the old ones keep going as intended.

You may ask, why a testing suite?

The reason behind making a testing suite is because I was tired of making random test.lua files that included few prints to check if all was going OK, so this makes this process much more easy to understand, if something fails and easy to see that everything is going as expected. In fact, I was also motivated by the idea of making in a future test runners like in other programming languages and environments is done.

Usage

In the readme you'll find a simple usage example, I'll give you a brief explanation here:

With the function describe you tell what you're doing or about to test, the second argument is the function inside the test.

With the function it you describe what it should do, then the second argument (again) is the function that will be tested for failed assertions.

Inside 'it', you assert conditions with the assert table of twire, like assert.equal(5, 6); which will result in a failed test because 5 == 6 will never be true (I hope so).
