It discovers tests, executes them in parallel, and provides a summary of results with clear failure reporting. The package has no runtime dependencies, making it simple to install and deploy.\n\nlit is primarily used by LLVM developers and projects that adopt LLVM's test infrastructure. It supports multiple test formats and flexible test discovery, allowing projects to define custom test runners. The tool is designed for simplicity and portability across operating systems, though its active development has stalled\u2014the last release was 780 days ago and maintenance status is dormant.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are working with LLVM, Clang, or a project that already uses lit for testing. The package is stable, has no dependencies, and installs easily. However, do not install expecting active maintenance or new features\u2014development is dormant. For new test infrastructure projects, consider whether lit's LLVM-centric design fits your needs or whether a more actively maintained alternative would be safer."},"id":"lit","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lit","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lit.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/lit/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-06-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"lit","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Software Testing Tool"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3427839,"position":2625,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"18.1.8"}
