Evaluating zUnit versus homegrown driver programs. Team of four. Cannot spend six months on a framework.

What are small shops actually using?

Driver programs and compare file output in Jenkins. Low tech but it runs every merge.

zUnit if you already own Rational. Otherwise drivers and good test data get you most of the way.
