dc.description.abstractParallelism is a ubiquitous feature of modern computing architectures; indeed, we might even say that serial code is now automatically legacy code. Writing parallel code poses significant challenges to programs, and is often error-prone. Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) languages, such as Coarray Fortran (CAF), represent a promising development direction in the quest for a trade-off between simplicity and performance. CAF is a parallel programming model that allows a smooth migration from serial to parallel code. However, despite CAF simplicity, refactoring serial code and migrating it to parallel versions is still error-prone, especially in complex softwares. The combination of unit testing, which drastically reduces defect injection, and CAF is therefore a very appealing prospect; however, it requires appropriate tools to realize its potential. In this paper, we present the first CAF-compatible framework for unit tests, developed as an extension to the Parallel Fortran Unit Test framework (pFUnit).en_UK
