Hi,

I'm looking for a unit testing framework for FME workbenches. See link below for a lot of example frameworks for various programming languages..

Is FME running behind on this topic ??

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unit_testing_frameworks#References

This page is a list of tables of code-driven unit testing frameworks for various programming languages.

I don't think there is an out of the box method for unit testing for FME, although Safe Software does have some framework they use for their tests and also for CustomTransformers on the FME Hub, so maybe Safe can provide some tips or best practice guidelines for unit testing.

One thing which you could try is to create a template of each workspace and publish it to the FMEHub (you can set it to private so only you have access).

FME will run tests every time a new version of FME is released and your workspace will be tested. If it fails you'll get an email.

You are, of course, limited here if you are making lots of changes and want to test more regularly.
