regress 0.0.1

Library

Regress

Early draft for regression testing in Python 3.4+. Currently integrates best with PyTest, but other frameworks are also welcomed. Regression testing is useful in unit and module testing when rewriting test data creating is too boring. After you canonized the ideal output result all tests will pass until the data change moment.

Example

# regress is the helper fixture easy to setup
def test_simple(regress: RegressFixture):
    result = {'a': 1}
    regress.test(result)  # Commit

    result2 = {'a': 1}
    regress.test(result2)  # Ok. No changes

    result3 = {'a': 3}  # Try commit change. Raised the AssertionError
    with pytest.raises(AssertionError) as e:
        regress.test(result3)

Using

pip3 install -e https://gitlab.com/aptakhin/regress

Development

python3 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Further plans

• Text Python object serialization for more transparent changes merging
• Canonization tool with merging tests renames
• Remote canonization data storages for not storing data in repository
• Support for other Python test frameworks
