PyTest
- Test framework for Python
- Tests are functions beginning with
test_ which can be autodiscovered
- Support for
assert statements
- Supports fixtures - preferred way rather than setup and teardown functions.
Cache
- Persistent storage which is maintained across test runs.
- Can be used to persist the output from REST API calls etc.
- Use the
--cache-clear option to disable
- Enabled by default but may wish to guard behind command line parameter so that the user has to manually enable it - so won't interfere with CI build.
Command Line Options
- Sample code for boolean parameter
parser.addoption("--enable-bool", action="store_true", help="Help text")
Asserts
- Can use
any(list of boolean) or all(<list of boolean>) to reduce a series of tests to a single boolean
