This [[Module Library|XQuery Module]] contains annotations and functions for performing Unit XQUnit tests with XQuery.
=Introduction=
The more complex a software application grows, the more error-prone it gets. This is why testing frameworks have been developed, which provide a standardized, automatized way for testing software. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUnit XUnit] frameworks (such as SUnit or JUnit) allow testing of atomic unit of a program, such as single functions and algorithms.
This module borrows heavily from the existing frameworks: it introduces provides various new annotations for testing XQuery functions. Unit functions are provided to assert the validity of arbitrary conditions expressed in XQuery and to raise errors whenever a condition is not satisfied. Some additional functions exist to run all unit tests of the current module or a set of specified library modules.
