The pytest
testing tool makes it easy to write small tests, yet
scales to support complex functional testing.
Documentation: http://pytest.org/latest/
Changelog: http://pytest.org/latest/changelog.html
Issues: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues
- auto-discovery of test modules and functions,
- detailed info on failing assert statements (no need to remember
self.assert*
names) - modular fixtures for managing small or parametrized long-lived test resources.
- multi-paradigm support: you can use
pytest
to run test suites based on unittest (or trial), nose - single-source compatibility from Python2.6 all the way up to Python3.5, PyPy-2.3, (jython-2.5 untested)
- many external plugins.
A simple example for a test:
# content of test_module.py
def test_function():
i = 4
assert i == 3
which can be run with py.test test_module.py
. See getting-started for more examples.
