The ``py.test`` testing tool makes it easy to write small tests, yet
|
|
scales to support complex functional testing. It provides
|
|
|
|
- `auto-discovery
|
|
<http://pytest.org/latest/goodpractises.html#python-test-discovery>`_
|
|
of test modules and functions,
|
|
- detailed info on failing `assert statements <http://pytest.org/latest/assert.html>`_ (no need to remember ``self.assert*`` names)
|
|
- `modular fixtures <http://pytest.org/latest/fixture.html>`_ for
|
|
managing small or parametrized long-lived test resources.
|
|
- multi-paradigm support: you can use ``py.test`` to run test suites based
|
|
on `unittest <http://pytest.org/latest/unittest.html>`_ (or trial),
|
|
`nose <http://pytest.org/latest/nose.html>`_
|
|
- single-source compatibility to Python2.4 all the way up to Python3.3,
|
|
PyPy-1.9 and Jython-2.5.1.
|
|
|
|
- many `external plugins <http://pytest.org/latest/plugins.html#installing-external-plugins-searching>`_.
|
|
|
|
A simple example for a test::
|
|
|
|
# content of test_module.py
|
|
def test_function():
|
|
i = 4
|
|
assert i == 3
|
|
|
|
which can be run with ``py.test test_module.py``. See `getting-started <http://pytest.org/latest/getting-started.html#our-first-test-run>`_ for more examples.
