Konira - A Python DSL Testing Framework

Konira is a tool that allows you to write minimalistic descriptions for testing scenarios and unit tests.

It is flexible enough to accommodate Behavioral Driven Development as well as traditional Unit Testing.

What does a test case look like?

describe "a very simple test case for my_module":

    it "has a foo property that is True":
        assert my_module.foo

But this is not valid Python!

I hear you. It is a DSL. All tests need to specify the konira encoding at the top and they can be executed with the included command line tool.

fast and readable action in the terminal

$ konira

a very simple test case for my_module
    It has a foo property that is True


All specs passed in 0.000 secs.

The name

Konira is one of the names of an ancient Inca God. Konira Wirakocha diguised as a traveler in rags. A trickster, a prankster. No one knew who he was, and the people he passed called him names. Yet as he walked, he created. With a word he made the fields and terraced hillsides. Dropping a reed blossom, he made water flow.

This is a DSL, it looks like Python - it mostly is, but it packs simplicity and makes testing look good and easy.
