While the framework exists since 1999, the current version is a consequence of a complete rewrite done in 2016 by passionate developers, using the object-oriented capabilities of the Oracle database to make it more aligned with other testing frameworks (e.g. JUnit for Java, RSpec for Ruby).
This had significant impact on the test code syntax and how the framework is used.
In 2026, utPLSQL Development Labs Ltd was established to provide a sustainable legal and financial foundation for the project (announcement, background).
