PyUnit
PyUnit is an easy way to create unit testing programs with Python.
Basic Example
Here's a basic example, making use of standard PyUnit conventions.
Toggle line numbers
1 import unittest
2
3 from foobarbaz import Foo # code from module you're testing
4
5 class SimpleTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
6 def setUp(s):
7 """
8 Called before every single test case.
9 """
10 s.foo = Foo()
11 s.file = open( "blah", "r" )
12 def tearDown(s):
13 """
14 Called after every single test case.
15 """
16 s.file.close()
17 def testA(s):
18 """test case A; note that all test method names must begin with 'test.'"""
19 assert foo.bar() == 543, "bar() not calculating values correctly"
20 def testB(s):
21 """test case B"""
22 assert foo+foo == 34, "can't add Foo instances"
23 def testC(s):
24 """test case C"""
25 assert foo.baz() == "blah", "baz() not returning blah correctly"
26
27 class OtherTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
28 def setUp(s):
29 blah_blah_blah()
30 def tearDown(s):
31 blah_blah_blah()
32 def testBlah(s):
33 assert s.blahblah == "blah", "blah isn't blahing blahing correctly"
34
35 if __name__ == "__main__":
36 unittest.main() # run all tests
