pytest: simple powerful testing with Python
Project description
The pytest framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.
An example of a simple test:
# content of test_sample.py
def inc(x):
return x + 1
def test_answer():
assert inc(3) == 5To execute it:
$ pytest
============================= test session starts =============================
collected 1 items
test_sample.py F
================================== FAILURES ===================================
_________________________________ test_answer _________________________________
def test_answer():
> assert inc(3) == 5
E assert 4 == 5
E + where 4 = inc(3)
test_sample.py:5: AssertionError
========================== 1 failed in 0.04 seconds ===========================
Due to pytest’s detailed assertion introspection, only plain assert statements are used. See getting-started for more examples.
