Test Anything Protocol: History, Measurement & Standards

The Test Anything Protocol (TAP) is a protocol for communicating between test logic, called a TAP producer, and a test harness in a language-agnostic way. Originally developed for unit testing of the Perl interpreter in 1987, producers and parsers are now available for many development platforms.
