XMLUnit: JUnit and NUnit testing for XML

Posted by resmo on October 15, 2009 under Java, OSS

XMLUnit [1] for Java provides two JUnit extension classes, XMLAssert and XMLTestCase, and a set of supporting classes (e.g. Diff, DetailedDiff, Transform, SimpleXpathEngine, Validator, NodeTest) that allow assertions to be made about:

  • The differences between two pieces of XML
  • The outcome of transforming a piece of XML using XSLT
  • The evaluation of an XPath expression on a piece of XML
  • The validity of a piece of XML
  • Individual nodes in a piece of XML that are exposed by DOM Traversal

XMLUnit for Java can also treat HTML content (even badly-formed HTML) as valid XML to allow these assertions to be made about the content of web pages too.
