Reusable Gold Testing System

Reusable Gold testing system, or autest for short, is a testing system targeted toward gold file, command line process testing.

Goals

  • Easy to write and add tests
  • Extensible system to allow:
    • Adding new functionality for testing your application
    • Batch commands as a new function to make it easier to write tests
    • Define custom report outputs
  • Precise as possible error messages to make it easy to see what is wrong fast
  • Sandbox to make it easy to see what failed and reproduce out of test system
  • Flexible gold file syntax to make it easier to ignore text that is not important

Non-Goals

The Reusable Gold testing system is not about making another unit testing framework.

Requirements

  • Python 3.11 or higher
