Unity Test Framework
Automated testing for Unity projects.
Overview
The Unity Test Framework (UTF) is a tool that allows developers and testers to create automated tests directly within the Unity environment. It supports two types of tests: Edit Mode tests for game logic that doesn't require the game to be running, and Play Mode tests for testing gameplay and interactions. This enables a test-driven development approach and helps ensure code quality and stability.
✨ Key Features
- Integrated directly into the Unity Editor
- Edit Mode tests for fast execution
- Play Mode tests for gameplay validation
- Based on the NUnit framework
- Supports CI/CD integration via command-line execution
- C# scripting for test creation
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Seamless integration with the Unity Editor
- No additional cost, included with Unity
- Distinction between fast Edit Mode and comprehensive Play Mode tests
Unique Value: Empowers Unity developers to write and run automated tests efficiently within their existing workflow, improving code quality and enabling CI/CD practices.

💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- High-level UI testing without coding
- Performance profiling
- User feedback collection
🏆 Alternatives
While tools like AltTester focus on high-level UI testing, the Unity Test Framework is ideal for lower-level unit and integration testing of the game's code.
