Following advances in hardware engineering (multi-core processors) and software engineering (agile practices), there is now a large demand for unit-testing techniques for concurrent code. This paper presents the motivation, problem, proposed solution, first results, and open challenges of an early-stage research project (2019-2022) that aims to develop innovative such techniques. Founded on existing work on coordination models and languages, the project's idea is to use a combination of domain-specific language, compilation, and model-checking to build a fully automated framework for unit-testing concurrency.
