Ahven is mainly useful if you have some special needs, like if you have to use Ada 95 code or you need the unit test library licensed under less strict Open Source license (GPL vs. ISC). APIs are somewhat similar since both frameworks try to imitate xUnit family frameworks. Previously this was discussed in June: https://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/2273a296de8c1b6d?hl=ky > > I also can't tell which is maintained more than the other :/ > > AUnit is maintained by AdaCore, Ahven by its (volunteer) author. So I > suspect AUnit is better maintained. Yes, I suspect this also. In theory, I have tried to do two or three releases in a year, but this year there has been only one and time between 1.7 and 1.8 was 9 months. In addition, there has been no commits to Ahven's repository in 3 months. This 3 month silence can be explained by telling that our family got a new member about 3 months ago and the new member has complained louder than Ahven's users. :) > -- Stephe -- Tero Koskinen - http://iki.fi/tero.koskinen/
