An experimental behavioral framework inspired from rspec.
Project description
Describe
An experimental BDD styled framework inspired off of RSpec. The reason of BDD over TDD is out of scope of this article. But this framework is simply a way to try and encourage me to do more testing.
Installation
To install, use pip or easy_install:
pip install describe
Usage
Then you can import the library for use in unittest or nose. Currently there is only one feature, the Value object:
from describe import Value
Use this Value class to wrap values you want to set expectations. Here’s some API examples until I get proper documentation:
# self.assertEquals(9, 9) Value(9).should == 9 # self.assertAlmostEqual(5.0-4.0, 1.0) Value(5.0-4.0).should.be_close_to(1.0) # self.assertIn(3, (2,3,4)) Value((2,3,4)).should.contain(3) # self.assertNotIn(5, (2,3,4)) Value((2,3,4)).should_not.contain(5) # self.assertFalse(False) Value(False).should.be.false() # self.assertTrue(isinstance((), tuple)) Value(()).should.be.instance_of(tuple) # self.assertEqual(len(range(5)), 5) # '.elements' is optional Value(range(5)).should.have(5).elements # self.assertGreaterEqual(len(range(5)), 4) Value(range(5)).should.have.at_least(4)
But this is more code!
Yes, but it’s more readable (your opinion may vary).
