UnitTests provides a unit test facility that can be used by other scripts using '''require'''. See [[Wikipedia:Lua#Unit_testing]] for details. Following is a sample from [[Module:Bananas/testcases]]:

<{{#tag:syntaxhighlight |{{Module:Bananas/testcases}}|lang="lua">}}

-- Unit tests for [[Module:Bananas]]. Click talk page to run tests.

local p = require('Module:UnitTests')

function p:test_hello()

self:preprocess_equals('{{#invoke:Bananas | hello}}', 'Hello, world!',{nowiki=1})

end

return p

</syntaxhighlight>

The talk page [[Module talk:Bananas/testcases]] executes it with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke: Bananas/testcases | run_tests}}</nowiki></code>. Test methods like test_hello above must begin with "test".
