astrotest 0.1.0

Auto generate unit-tests for a function from executions of the function.

# Astro-test
Capture functions arguments and results and create a unit test file for that combination to assist refactoring.

Why?
Imagine you have to refactor a large, undocumented (untested!) python code base.
You'd probably identify the most important, slowest, or most error-prone
One strategy is to write tests for the more significant functions and work from there.

This proof-of-concept utility captures this initial functionality by generating test cases during test executions of the code.

Why 'Astrotest'?
===

'Astroturfing' is a term meaning to create inauthentic comments or discussion to influence or overwhelm
natural organic debate. Hence 'Astro-testing': it's not authentically TDD; it can create a large number of tests.

Example
===

If the following function has the test_logging decorator:

@astro_test
def simplefn(a,b):
return a+b

and is called with:

simplefn(a=1,b=2)

it'll create a unit test:


# testcase:{'args': (), 'result': 3, 'fn': 'simplefn', 'kwargs': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}}
def test_simplefn_1c419a(self):
self.assertEqual(simplefn(*(), **{'a': 1, 'b': 2}), 3)
