Welcome to the documentation of TcUnit-Runner - the program that makes it possible to automate runs of TcUnit unit tests.
TcUnit-Runner is a piece of software that makes it possible to integrate TcUnit (TwinCAT unit tests) in a CI/CD software such as Jenkins.
With Jenkins and a version control system (such as Git), it's possible to automatically run all unit tests in a TwinCAT project automatically if a TwinCAT project is changed in the version control system. All test results are automatically generated and reported in standard xUnit/JUnit XML format which Jenkins natively supports.
