Micro-ISV, ObjectIcon and the importance of UnitTest

ObjectIcon without a UnitTest framework is just not suitable for a MicroISV (mISV or μISV).

I can find no trace at the moment of Art Eschenlauer's UUnit for the UNICON branch of ICON.

I would suggest that the micro-dev would be better to add quality text facilities (comparative search, PEG) and minimal logic programming (with Backtalk constraints ? ) to a Pharo Smalltalk image and thereby get a UnitTest framework, a refactoring browser and versioning and more.

Reduced lines of code and increased productivity, RAD, extensive libraries, ease of maintenance and documentation - these are all Smalltalk strong points.

PS
I did find this link regarding using JUnit style with Unicon.
