+# KUnity
+
+KUnity configure the c unit test framework Unity (http://www.throwtheswitch.org/unity) so that it can use in kernel space. The test results will be "shown" by `printk`.
+
+## Add KUnity to a kernel module
+
+```Makefile
+
+# add KUnity and Unity source files
+module-objs += lib/KUnity/src/kunity.o
+module-objs += lib/KUnity/lib/Unity/src/unity.o
+
+# include KUnity and Unity header
+ccflags-y += -I<lib_path>/KUnity/src
+ccflags-y += -I<lib_path>/KUnity/lib/Unity/src
+
+# set the unity config by header file flag, which is provided by KUnity
+ccflags-y += -DUNITY_INCLUDE_CONFIG_H
+```
+
+##  Write and Running test cases
+
+Test can be written like Unity tests, but for the definition of the test function you have to use the  ```KUNITY_TEST``` makro.
+When a kunity test should run, its necessary to add the prefix  ```kunity_test_``` to the test function name.
+
+```c
+#include <kunity.h>
+// ... application includes
+KUNITY_TEST(first_simple_test)
+{
+    TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL(1, 0);
+}
+
+// add more tests
+
+// run tests
+int module_init(void) {
+    int result = 0;
+    UNITY_BEGIN();
+    RUN_TEST(kunity_test_first_simple_test);
+    // ... call the other tests
+    result = UNITY_END();
+    if ( < 1) {
+        // all tests was successful, startup module
+        // ...
+    }
+
+    return -result;
+}
+```
+For running tests it can also use the [KUnity-Test-Runner-Module](https://github.com/stubbfel/KUnity-Test-Runner-Module)
