pFUnit is a Fortran programming language framework for unit testing following the xUnit model.{{cite journal | title=Software Testing and Verification in Climate Model Development | journal=IEEE Software | doi=10.1109/MS.2011.117 | year=2011 | last1=Clune | first1=T.

The framework makes extensive use of modern standard features of Fortran (2003, 2008), like support for object-oriented programming. A python-based preprocessor provides directives reminiscent of other xUnit testing frameworks (e.g. @assert), as well as support for parameterized test cases. pFUnit can be built using either a GNU make or CMake process.

It is published under the NASA Open Source Agreement version 1.3.{{cite web | url=http://sourceforge.net/p/pfunit/code/ci/master/tree/LICENSE | title=NASA Open Source Agreement version 1.3 | access-date=January 16, 2014}}
