What is ApexUnit?

ApexUnit is a powerful continuous integration tool for Force.com platform. ApexUnit is a Java application and it leverages the features exposed by the Force.com platform to queue and submit Apex tests for execution. Force.com tooling API's are used for fetching code coverage results. ApexUnit is intended to exercise integrated Force.com objects functionality through APIs beneath the Force.com UI layer. ApexUnit comprises of two major components:

1. A xUnit based testing framework for Force.com platform;
2. Extensive code coverage metrics with actionable detail for Apex source code. The code coverage results can be a component of the CI/CD pipeline.
