Stefil

License: Public Domain / BSD

What Stefil basically adds is that it quietly gathers extra runtime information and statistics (like a test backtraces, assertions, failures and/or errors), and introduces a wider range of ASSERT-like primitives to express the expected behavior of a program. It also integrates well with the Slime inspector, and provides useful restarts to achieve that goal.

Unique Selling Points:

• Non-intrusive to the normal development process (debugging a failed test is exactly the same experience as debugging your application)
• Integrates well with Slime
• Lets you run tests both in non-interactive and in interactive mode with useful restarts
• Makes it trivial to invoke even only parts of the test suite: just call the DEFTEST (DEFUN) of your choice
• Allows you to interactively skip parts of the test suite (e.g. to skip a long test (and remember that suite are also tests) you can abort with C-c C-c and select a restart)
• Its fixture implementation allows invoking specific parts of the test suite without sacrificing performance
