systest 0.6.0

System test framework with serial and parallel execution.

Installation

pip install systest

Description

Execute a sequence of test cases in serial and/or parallel.

Test cases in a list are executed in serial and test cases in a tuple are executed in parallel in separate Python threads.

This framework is created with production test in mind, trying to make it possible to minimize the test execution time by executing tests in parallel. The framework is not indended as a replacement for unittest, but rather to be a complement to it.

Documentation: http://systest.readthedocs.org/en/latest

Example usage

See the test suite: https://github.com/eerimoq/systest/blob/master/tests/test_systest.py

For example, the sequence below starts with test case MyTestCase("1"). When MyTestCase("1") has been executed, MyTestCase("2") and the list of MyTestCase("3") and MyTestCase("4") are executed in parallel. When both MyTestCase("2") and the list of MyTestCase("3") and MyTestCase("4") has been executed, MyTestCase("5") is executed. Then the sequence ends.

from systest import TestCase, Sequencer

class MyTestCase(TestCase):
    def __init__(self, name):
        super(MyTestCase, self).__init__()
        self.name = "my_testcase_" + name
    def run(self):
        self.log("Hello!")

sequencer = Sequencer("my_sequence")

sequencer.run([
        MyTestCase("1"),
        (
            MyTestCase("2"),
            [
                MyTestCase("3"),
                MyTestCase("4")
            ]
        ),
        MyTestCase("5")
    ])

sequencer.report()

The output is:
