|
integrates well with CI systems
|
|
----------------------------------------

- supports extended `xUnit style setup`_
|
|
- can integrate nose_, `unittest.py` and `doctest.py`_ style tests
|
|
- supports generating testing coverage
|
|
- `Javasript unit- and functional testing`_
|
|
|
|
.. _`Javasript unit- and functional testing`: plugin/oejskit.html
|
|
.. _`coverage testing with figleaf`: plugin/figleaf.html
