Creating Unit Tests using the Unit Test Framework outside LV Projects?

If I want to create a unit test using the Unit Test Framework, is my only option to create it from within a LabVIEW project? There is no standalone version of Unit Test Framework?

We are using Teststand and are creating LabVIEW modules for use in the sequences. I don't necessarily want to create LabVIEW projects for some VIs especially ones that I include in my Teststand workspace.

 

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks.

When we were evaluating it UTF didn't mesh with TestStand at all.

 

You could use TestStand to build your own testing framework on top of your test sequences...

I do know that you can define unit tests files (*.lvtest) using a text editor or excel spreadsheet.  And I suppose you could construct a VI and/or LabVIEW program that would allow you to create the files.
