CategoryTesting: TestingFramework for the PythonLanguage * http://pikzie.sourceforge.net/ Pikzie is an easy to write/debug Unit Testing Framework for Python. Pikzie provides the following features that are lacked in unittest.py included in the standard Python distribution: * Pythonic API. (Pikzie followes PEP 8 -- Style Guide for Python Code: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) * a lot of assertions. * outputs result with useful format for debugging. (especially Emacs user) * colorized output. * supports tagging metadata to each test. An example test: import pikzie from stack import Stack class TestStack(pikzie.TestCase): def setup(self): self.stack = Stack() def test_new_stack(self): stack = Stack() self.assert_true(stack.empty()) def test_push(self): self.assert_equal(0, len(self.stack)) self.stack.push(100) self.assert_equal(1, len(self.stack)) self.assert_false(self.stack.empty()) def test_pop(self): self.stack.push(10) self.stack.push(20) self.stack.push(30) self.assert_equal(3, len(self.stack)) self.assert_equal(30, self.stack.pop()) self.assert_equal(2, len(self.stack)) self.assert_equal(20, self.stack.pop()) self.assert_equal(1, len(self.stack)) self.stack.push(40) self.assert_equal(2, len(self.stack)) self.assert_equal(40, self.stack.pop()) self.assert_equal(1, len(self.stack)) self.assert_equal(10, self.stack.pop()) self.assert_equal(0, len(self.stack)) self.assert_true(self.stack.empty()) @pikzie.bug(1234) def test_push_string(self): self.stack.push("string can be pushed") self.assert_equal("string can be pushed", self.pop()) * Self test: http://pikzie.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pikzie/trunk/test/
