pestcontrol 1.0.5

A Python unit testing library

Pest Control

A Python Unit Testing Library

Usage

Test Functions:

• assertEquals(actual, expected, msg) - Test if actual = expected, if test fails, print out includes msg
• assertTrue(actual, msg) - Test if actual = True, if test fails, print out includes msg
• assertFalse(actual, msg) - Test if actual = False, if test fails, print out includes msg

How to

Start by importing the library. Assuming file is in same directory as the PestControl library directory: for example for the test script "basic_test.py", use the following folder structure for this example:

/
|- pestcontrol/
|	- pest_control.py
|- basic_test.py

import pestcontrol

Then make a class that extends PestCase to be the unit test class (class name can be anything, "BasicTestCase" is used here)

class BasicTestCase(pestcontrol.PestCase):

Then write one or more functions for the actual test. NOTE: "test" MUST be somewhere in the function name. For example, add_test(), addTest(), addTesting(), add_Tester(), add_tester(), will all run, but add(), will not run.

class BasicTestCase(PestCase):
    def add_test(self):
        self.assertEquals(1+1, 2, "simple add test")

Now just add the main() funciton call

if __name__ == "__main__":
    BasicTestCase().main()

That's it! Your unit test will run and print to the console the results. Note: any errors that occur from a call to an assert function, ie errors caused by the code being tested, will be caught and logged as a failed test (divide by zero error for example).

Full Example:

import pestcontrol
class BasicTestCase(pestcontrol.PestCase):
    def add_test(self):
        self.assertEquals(1+1, 2, "simple add test")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    BasicTestCase().main()
