Abstract
Unit testing is a technique applied by individual software developers to ensure that the smallest, self-contained pieces of code function as designed and provide the correct results. Because manual unit testing is time and effort intensive, many tools exist to automatically run unit tests based on design elements coded directly within code modules. Continuous Build/Integration tools ensure that code is unit tested with no failures prior to check-in of code.
