luaunit.lua  by Philippe Fremy

Luaunit is a unit-testing framework for Lua, in the spirit of many
others unit-testing framework. Luaunit let's you write test functions,
test classes with test methods and setup/teardown functionality.

Luaunit can output test failures using the TAP format, for easier integration
into Continuous Integration platforms like Jenkins.

Luaunit is derived from the initial work of Ryu Gwang. 
It is released under the BSD license.

Luaunit should work on all platforms supported by lua. It was tested on
Windows XP and Gentoo Linux.

Luaunit is now maintained on github:
https://github.com/bluebird75/luaunit

See file example_with_luaunit.lua to understand how to use it.
