/YOO-nit test/

Also known as: automated test, test case

Last updated August 8, 2026

Definition

A unit test automatically checks a small piece of code (often one function) against expected inputs and outputs to catch regressions early.

Real-World Example

A test that add(2, 3) returns 5 fails immediately if someone accidentally changes the function to multiply.
