Cerner Command Language, aka CCL, aka Discern Explorer, is a database query and scripting language used with Cerner Millennium databases. CCL Unit is a unit testing framework for CCL.

The ccl-testing repository houses maven plugins to perform CCL Unit tests and analyses, to generate reports from the results, to perform static analyses, and to generate code documentation. It also houses some dependencies for those maven plugins.
