adaptive-tests-py 0.2.0

Adaptive test discovery for Python projects

adaptive-tests-py

Python port of the adaptive discovery engine. It mirrors the JavaScript API so polyglot teams can keep their testing strategy consistent across stacks while preserving the zero-runtime guarantees of static analysis.

Installation

pip install adaptive-tests-py

Usage

from adaptive_tests_py import DiscoveryEngine, Signature

engine = DiscoveryEngine(root=".")
result = engine.discover(
    Signature(name="TodoService", methods=["add", "complete", "list"]),
    load=False,
)

print(result.module, result.methods)
TodoService = result.load()  # module imported on demand
service = TodoService()
service.add("Ship adaptive tests")

Use engine.discover_all(signature) to inspect every ranked match when tuning signatures or debugging coverage. The engine now mirrors the JavaScript implementation more closely:

• Configurable scoring – drop an adaptive-tests.config.json (or pass inline overrides) to tweak path/file/method weighting.
• Persistent cache – results are stored in .adaptive-tests-cache.json and re-used on future runs when the target file is unchanged.
• Lens explanations – call engine.explain(signature) to retrieve top candidates with per-factor score breakdowns.

CLI

The package ships with a lightweight CLI so you can run discovery diagnostics without writing code:

adaptive-tests-py why '{"name": "TodoService"}' --root examples/python/src --limit 3
adaptive-tests-py why signature.json --json
adaptive-tests-py discover '{"name": "TodoService"}' --root .

Use --no-cache for a fresh scan and --config path/to/config.json to supply overrides ad-hoc.
