Awesome TAP 
¶
Useful resources for the Test Anything Protocol
TAP is a simple text-based interface between testing modules in a test harness.
The list is very JavaScript focused right now. That's just because I'm only familiar with TAP stuff in the JS world. Contributions welcome for any language.
