JUnit, Industry's Most Widely Used Open-Source Testing Framework, Celebrates 10th Anniversary, Continues to Transform Application Development and Quality of Software

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., October 4, 2007 - Agitar Software, the leader in unit testing solutions, today announced results from a new Evans Data survey that found unit testing as a growing development practice with significant additional market opportunity within financial services, telecommunications, retail, manufacturing and IT consulting in North America. The survey from the Santa Cruz, Calif.-based software development market research firm explored manual and automated testing practices.

One of the common problems facing software projects is that while the developers understand the new code well, they must also deal with a large body of legacy code that they don't understand and for which they don’t have tests. As this code is changed, it is easy to introduce subtle bugs. These bugs are often not detected until much later in the project cycle – and sometimes are found only by users of the released application. These bugs are a common cause of delays in meeting schedules because developers don't fully understand the impact of their changes and lack tools that can give them that insight.
