With the thought of writing a track on Exercism.org for 8th, are there any unit test words for Forth-family languages?

There is a test suite for _standard_ Forth wordsets. I would say 8th is non-standard.

The Hayes tester and its descendent, ttester. Gerry Jackson maintains

a suite of unit tests for the standard words:
https://github.com/gerryjackson/forth2012-test-suite
where you can see usage examples.

Agreed. However, unless someone takes on the challenge of writing a standard Forth track at Exercism, the only example of a forth-ish language there will be 8th.

The other problem is finding a Forth standard that everyone will, if not "agree to", at least will consent to.

should run on any Forth system. It is the "agreed" bare minimum.
If it does not, the system is incomplete or presents a diverging dialect.
Bear in mind that more complete Forths are practically always full of
very individual (application domain specific) language extensions.

What I was after originally was not a "test suite" but a "unit test library". I'm not really interested in establishing whether the Forth is compliant with a Forth standard. I'm more interested in working within the pedagogical framework of Exercism.

Sorry, I was not after compliance but after "unit testing".

So tester.fr provides Forth code for assertions in the form of
T{ ... -> ... }T

My apologies. Okay, that's very interesting. I shall look into it further.

standard in the specifications for standard words. Also in Annex F Test
Suite.
