📦 Jarbin-ToolKit:JarTest v0.2.1.0

Deterministic test execution framework based on structured assertions, benchmarking, and controlled test discovery

🔹 Short Description

Jarbin-ToolKit JarTest is a lightweight testing and benchmarking framework that executes Python test functions through structured Benchmark containers, records assertions, measures execution time, and aggregates results in a deterministic reporting system.

It provides:

• automatic test discovery based on naming conventions
• structured assertion tracking with contextual recording
• execution benchmarking with precise timing
• stdout/stderr capture utilities
• hierarchical test execution and reporting

It is not a unit testing clone of pytest, but a deterministic execution and benchmarking harness with integrated assertion tracking.

🔹 Target Audience

This library is intended for:

• Python developers building custom test frameworks
• developers requiring deterministic benchmarking pipelines
• engineers designing structured validation systems
• projects needing lightweight alternatives to full testing ecosystems

🔹 Platform Support

• Python ≥ 3.10
• Standard library only (except internal Jarbin-ToolKit dependencies)
• Linux / Windows / macOS compatible

🔹 Purpose

Jarbin-ToolKit JarTest aims to:

• execute test functions in isolated benchmarking environments
• capture execution time with high-resolution measurement
• collect structured assertion results during execution
• aggregate errors, exceptions, and outputs in a unified model
• provide deterministic reporting across multiple test runs

It is not a general-purpose testing framework, but a structured benchmarking and assertion orchestration layer over Python callables.

🔹 Key Features

• automatic test discovery via JT_ prefix
• benchmark execution wrapper (Benchmark)
• assertion system with contextual collection
• execution timing with adaptive formatting (ns → s → min)
• stdout/stderr capture via Get.Redirect
• CLI-style test runner with formatted terminal output
• recursive test collection across modules

🔹 Core Concept

The system is based on four core entities:

Benchmark

Encapsulates a test execution unit:

Benchmark(test_function)

Responsible for:

• executing test functions
• measuring execution time
• capturing exceptions and assertion failures
• storing returned values

Assertion System

Assertions are recorded during execution using a context variable:

Assertion.eq(a, b)
Assertion.neq(a, b)
Assertion.contain(a, b)
Assertion.ncontain(a, b)

Each assertion produces an AssertionResult:

Assertions are automatically collected via AssertionContext.

JarTest

Main orchestrator:

JarTest.fetch()
JarTest.run()

Responsible for:

• discovering test functions
• wrapping them into benchmarks
• executing batches of tests
• generating structured CLI reports

Get Utility

Provides execution introspection:

• stdout/stderr capture
• subprocess execution wrapper
• controlled output redirection

🔹 Usage Section

🔹 Defining a Test

from jarbin_toolkit_jartest import Assertion

def JT_example():
    Assertion.eq(2 + 2, 4)
    Assertion.contain("a", "abc")

🔹 Running Tests

Auto test fetch & run

from jarbin_toolkit_jartest import JarTest

JTT_example = JarTest()
JTT_example()

🔹 Capturing Output

from jarbin_toolkit_jartest import Get, Assertion

def foo():
    print("bar")

def JT_example():
    out, ret = Get.Redirect.stdout(foo)
    Assertion.contain("bar", out, '"bar" not printed')

🔹 Full test

Manual test fetch & run

from jarbin_toolkit_jartest import JarTest, Get, Assertion

def foo(message: str):
    print("msg = " + message)

def JT_failing():
    out, ret = Get.Redirect.stdout(foo)
    Assertion.contain("...", out, 'missing argument')

def JT_valid():
    out, ret = Get.Redirect.stdout(foo, "hello world")
    Assertion.contain("hello world", out)

JTT_example = JarTest()
JTT_example.fetch()
JTT_example.run()

🔹 Execution Behavior

• Each test runs inside a Benchmark wrapper
• Assertions are collected via contextvars
• Execution timing is measured using StopWatch
• Exceptions are captured but do not stop reporting unless fatal
• Multiple test runs accumulate results

🔹 Memory Model

• AssertionResult objects are stored per test execution

• Benchmark maintains:

  • time history
  • error history
  • assertion history
  • traceback history

• JarTest maintains a registry of benchmarks indexed by name

No implicit global state outside controlled context variables.

🔹 Design Philosophy

• deterministic execution over dynamic behavior
• structured assertion tracking instead of boolean-only tests
• explicit benchmarking integration
• modular separation of execution, assertion, and reporting
• reproducible test runs

🔹 Current State

⚠️ Core test execution and benchmarking system is functional

Status:

• assertion system implemented
• benchmark engine implemented
• test discovery implemented
• CLI reporting implemented
• stdout/stderr capture implemented

Limitations:

• no parallel test execution
• no test isolation sandboxing
• limited assertion set
• no fixtures system
• no mocking framework

🔹 Limitations

• synchronous execution only
• no dependency injection system
• no advanced test lifecycle hooks
• no distributed execution
• console output tightly coupled to terminal UI system

🔹 Extension / Contribution

Possible extensions:

• fixture system for reusable test contexts
• parallel benchmark execution
• richer assertion library
• mocking utilities
• JUnit/XML export support
• test filtering and tagging system

🔹 Notes

JarTest is designed as a deterministic hybrid between testing and benchmarking, not a strict replacement for pytest.

It prioritizes:

• execution traceability
• performance measurement
• structured assertion metadata

🔹 Identity Summary

Jarbin-ToolKit JarTest is:

• a deterministic test execution engine
• a structured assertion tracking system
• a benchmarking-oriented testing framework
• a lightweight test orchestration layer

🔹 Final Rule

If a test behavior is not executed inside Benchmark, it is not part of the system.
