including C, Perl, Java, and Smalltalk. 
The framework implemented by unittest supports:
fixtures, test suites, and a test runner to enable automated testing for your code

The Python unit testing framework, sometimes referred to as “PyUnit,” is a Python language version of JUnit, 
by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma. JUnit is, in turn, a Java version of Kent’s Smalltalk testing framework. 
Each is the de facto standard unit testing framework for its respective language.
