There was recently some idle chatter in Guido's living room about
using a unit testing framework (like PyUnit) for the Python regression
test suite. We're also writing tests for some DC projects, and need
to decide what framework to use.
Does anyone have opinions on test frameworks? A quick web search
turned up PyUnit (pyunit.sourceforge.net) and a script by Tres Seaver
that allows implements xUnit-style unit tests. Are there other tools
we should consider?
Is anyone else interested in migrating the current test suite to a new
framework? I hope the new framework will allow us to improve the test
suite in a number of ways:
- run an entire test suite to completion instead of stopping on
the first failure
- clearer reporting of what went wrong
- better support for conditional tests, e.g. write a test for
httplib that only runs if the network is up. This is tied into
better error reporting, since the current test suite could only
report that httplib succeeded or failed.
