Test Runner Python

WHAT’S NEW:

A test runner is a component which orchestrates the execution of tests and provides the outcome to the user. The runner may use a graphical interface, a textual interface, or return a special value to indicate the results of executing the tests. Running tests using the command-line interface ¶. The test package can be run as a script to drive Python’s regression test suite, thanks to the -m option: python -m test. Under the hood, it uses test.regrtest; the call python -m test.regrtest used in previous Python versions still works. The unittest module has both a built-in testing framework and a test runner. A testing framework is a set of rules which must be followed while writing test cases, while a test runner is a tool which executes these tests with a bunch of settings, and collects the results. Basic example¶ The unittest module provides a rich set of tools for constructing and running. I have a directory that contains my Python unit tests. Each unit test module is of the form test.py.I am attempting to make a file called alltest.py that will, you guessed it, run all files in the aforementioned test form and return the result.

A new Python-based project called Python Test Runner (ptr), that allows developers to run Python unit test suites. The main difference between ptr and existing test runners is that ptr crawls a repository to find Python projects with unit tests defined in their setup files. It then runs each suite in parallel with configured enabled steps.

WHY IT MATTERS:

The ptr project was created as a way to provide a lightweight tool using standard open source Python components. Supported and tested on Linux, MacOS, and Windows, ptr allows developers to test multiple projects in one Python environment and run the tests in parallel.

To achieve this, ptr recursively searches for setup.(cfg|py) from BASE_DIR (-b) and parses the found setup files for ptr configuration. If setup.(cfg|py) exists with ptr configuration, ptr runs the tests. When running test suites in parallel, all steps will be run for each suite until failure, and only failed runs will have their output written to stdout.

USE IT FOR:

ptr has four main use cases:

Running a Python test suite
Optionally checking and enforcing code coverage requirements
Optionally formatting and linting Python code
Optionally performing static type analysis

GET IT ON GITHUB:

ptr on github
ptr on PyPI

The pytest framework makes it easy to write small tests, yetscales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.

An example of a simple test:

To execute it:

Due to pytest’s detailed assertion introspection, only plain assert statements are used.See Getting Started for more examples.
