xUnit-style unit testing for Borland Delphi programs.

DUnit is an Xtreme testing framework for Borland Delphi programs. It was originally inspired on the JUnit framework written in Java by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma, but has evolved into a tool that uses much more of the potential of Delphi to be much more useful to Delphi developers.

Source code and mailing lists are available at DUnit's Source Forge page.
