It is not all that different from Hypothesis-Driven Science (HDS) (I just made that connection!) I suspect CppUTest is derived from Java JUnit (or whatever), as is Python's unittest. Python also has doctest and other public and private test frameworks and function. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
