There is also qtest (also called iTeML on github) which is a bit
special: it's a testing framework providing unit testing through OUnit,
and simple random testing; its specificy is that tests can be written in
comments within the module to test, so that the code itself has no additional
dependencies or code bloat due to tests. It is very easy to write new
tests, since you don't have to add specific test modules.
It is used, afaik, at least in Batteries and in containers.

I am probably going to work on making qtest and qcheck a bit closer, if
qtest's developper(s) agree.

Cheers,
