Unit Testing
|
| General info |
A Python unit testing framework modelled after unittest Testify is modelled after unittest but has more features while still supporting unittest classes. It has more pythonic naming conventions, an better test runner output visually, a decorator-based approach to fixture methods among many other features |
Unittest2 is a newer version on the inbuilt unit testing framework unittest To use o use unittest2 instead of unittest, simply replace 'import unittest' with 'import unittest2'. It has many new features such as: - addCleanups for better resource management; -many new assert methods; - assertRaises as context manager, with access to the exception afterwards; - test discovery and new command line options (including failfast and better handling of ctrl-C during test runs); - class and module level fixtures: setUpClass, tearDownClass, setUpModule, tearDownModule; -test skipping and expected failures and many more improvements on the API and bug fixes |

xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No
|
Yes unittest2 is a newer version of unittest which is an xUnit style framework for Python. |
|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes Front-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by Testify. |
Yes Front-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by unittest2. function by function |
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes Testify can test various server and database behaviours and functionality |
Yes We can write tests with unittest2 to test each function for server-side behaviour |
|
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
Yes Fixture methods are supported and it follows a decorator based approach, that is they are written similar to decorators |
Yes By use of the 'setUp()' function which is called to prepare the test fixture |
|
Group fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests. |
Yes Group fixtures are supported |
Yes unittest2 allows you to group your initialization code buy use of the 'setUp()' function and clean up code with a 'tearDown()' function |
|
Generators
Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way. |
Yes One can create generator methods to yield runnable test methods which will pick out the test methods from your TestCases, and then exclude any in any of your exclude_suites method.If there are any require_suites, it will then further limit itself to test methods in those suites. |
Yes unittest2 contains generator methods in the module 'unittest.TestCase' |

Mocks
Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed) |
Yes It includes the turtle mock object library |
Yes Mocks are available from the library unittest.mock which allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes Testify includes support for detecting and running test suites, grouped by modules, classes, or individual test methods. |
Yes One can build suites either manually or use test discovery to build the suite automatically by scanning a directory |
