Testing framework

Project description

Testify - A Testing Framework

Testify is a replacement for Python’s unittest module and nose. It is modeled after unittest, and tests written for unittest will run under testify with a minimum of adjustments, but it has features above and beyond unittest:

  • class-level setup and teardown fixture methods which are run once each for an entire set of test methods.

  • a decorator-based approach for fixture methods, eliminating the need for super() calls.

  • More pythonic, less java

  • enhanced test discovery - testify can drill down into packages to find test cases (similiar to nose).

  • support for collecting and running tests by collecting modules, classes or methods into test suites.

  • Pretty test runner output (color!)

  • Support for splitting up tests into buckets to support multi-processing

  • Extensible plugin system for adding additional functionality around reporting

  • Comes complete with other handy testing utilities: Mocking (turtle), code coverage integration and profiling.
