## What it is
GHUnit is a deprecated test framework for Mac OS X and iOS written in Objective-C, usable standalone or alongside other testing frameworks. It supports running tests in the Xcode debugger, from the command line, in parallel, and includes UI verification with image diffs.

## Use cases
- run unit tests for iOS apps
- test Objective-C code on Mac OS X
- run tests from the command line in Xcode projects
- verify UI views have not changed with image diffs
- run tests in parallel with debugging support

## When to avoid
- starting a new iOS or macOS project - use XCTest instead
- you need actively maintained testing tools
- you need modern async testing support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, mobile-development, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: objective-c, xcode, deprecated, unit-testing, ui-testing, ios, macos
