Overview

Test-driven development (TDD) plays a crucial role in ensuring code reliability, especially in projects that undergo frequent changes. To streamline this process, I developed a unit testing library featuring a comprehensive suite of assertions. This library eliminates the need to write temporary test scripts by defining fail conditions directly within the test framework. A closed-source enhanced fork is currently used in the development of Kaizen’s Origami - By Fate Forge .

Development & Features

The project was developed for Lua and has support for Roblox and their Luau programming language. Accomplishments include:

• Created an extensive unit testing library with built-in assertions, designed to support test-driven development (TDD).
• Simplified testing by automating fail conditions and eliminating repetitive scripts for tests.
• Open-sourced the library on GitHub, making it accessible for use in various Roblox development environments.
• Encouraged TDD practices in Roblox development by providing an easy-to-use tool for creating reliable, scalable code.
• Integrated into Kaizen’s Origami - By Fate Forge , streamlining development and ensuring more reliable game updates.

This shows a fraction of tests used for the character customization project.

Real-World Applications

This unit testing library not only supports TDD in Kaizen’s Origami - By Fate Forge but also contributes to fostering good development practices across the Roblox ecosystem. By encouraging test-driven workflows, it can help ensure code quality as projects evolve.
