unittest¶
Python unit testing framework, based on Erich Gamma’s JUnit and Kent Beck’s Smalltalk testing framework.
This module contains the core framework classes that form the basis of specific test cases and suites (TestCase, TestSuite etc.), and also a text-based utility class for running the tests and reporting the results
(TextTestRunner).
Simple usage:
import unittest
- class IntegerArithmeticTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
- def testAdd(self): ## test method names begin ‘test*’
- self.assertEqual((1 + 2), 3) self.assertEqual(0 + 1, 1)
- def testMultiply(self):
- self.assertEqual((0 * 10), 0) self.assertEqual((5 * 8), 40)
- if __name__ == ‘__main__’:
- unittest.main()

Classes¶
BaseTestSuite([tests]) |
A simple test suite that doesn’t provide class or module shared fixtures. |
FunctionTestCase(testFunc[, setUp, ...]) |
A test case that wraps a test function. |
TestCase([methodName]) |

TestLoader |
This class is responsible for loading tests according to various criteria |
TestProgram([module, defaultTest, argv, ...]) |
A command-line program that runs a set of tests; this is primarily for making test modules conveniently executable. |
TestResult([stream, descriptions, verbosity]) |
Holder for test result information. |
TestSuite([tests]) |
A test suite is a composite test consisting of a number of TestCases. |
TextTestResult(stream, descriptions, verbosity) |
A test result class that can print formatted text results to a stream. |
TextTestRunner([stream, descriptions, ...]) |
A test runner class that displays results in textual form. |
