Bats (Bash Automated Testing System) is a TAP-compliant testing framework for testing Bash scripts and command-line tools. Tests are written as @test blocks in .bats files, run with the run command, and then checked against $status and $output. After the original author stopped maintaining it, the community took it over and continues development as bats-core.
