Hi,

I know the name Unity was chosen because of the "unit" in "unit test". However, Unity is also the name of the graphical shell used by Ubuntu (not to mention there is a popular game engine of the same name). In fact, there is a libunity for developing applications that need integration with the Unity shell.

I'm surprised that this issue hasn't been raised before as I would've expected some level name conflict for certain developers programming in C on an Ubuntu machine.

There is a game 3D engine tool Unity as well - so why isn't that a problem along with other things?

It is true, that it is a little confusing.

I've just tried to find this repo, so I typed unity github into a search engine and I got something completely different. But then i changed my search to unity testing github and came up here.

So, after all, I'm OK with the current name, it is good enough.

It's been raised by everyone that's ever had a problem with Unity Testing and not been able to search for results on it.
