The implementation was made by Dean Zobec, and is included in the FCL (Free Component Library) shipped with Free Pascal. Since the 1.9.8 version of Free Pascal (and version 0.9.7 beta of Lazarus), such an implementation is also available for Free Pascal: FPCunit. (a ’Listener’) Over time, many implementations of this idea have appeared, for all kinds of programming languages. The output of this run can be analyzed by yet another class. These classes are then registered in a test suite registry, and can be run. It does this by providing a few base classes (testcases) of which the tester must make a descendent, and which should include test code for the routines to be tested.
Basically, the JUnit test framework provides a controlled environment to perform tests of software routines. This has culminated in a series of test frameworks, similar to the original JUnit test framework. 1 Introduction Lots of people are firm believers in the concept of writing test code for classes or routines, as part of the development effort.

Free Pascal and Lazarus could not stay behind, so FPCUnit was implemented.
