DESCRIPTION
Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTNejE9EraI Code - https://gist.github.com/3386951 Pytest is a mature and comprehensive testing suite for Python projects, but it can be a little intimidating for newcomers. Where do these mysterious funcargs come from, how do parametrised tests work, and where are my xUnit-style setUp and tearDown methods? Pytest lives by "convention over configuration" - which is great once you know what the conventions are. This talk will look at real examples of pytest in use, emphasising the features that differentiate it from nose.

funcargs & other fun
with pytest
pytest – all the good stuff✔ all test styles: unittest, doctest, nose✔ boilerplate-free style – natural asserts✔ support for running tests distributed, boxed✔ generate JUnit-style XML for Jenkins CI✔ informative error reporting✔ extensible plugins, useful builtins✔ skip, xfail, custom markers✔ parametrize, generate tests✔ monkeypatch✔ funcargs!
my background
● using pytest seriously for ~18 months at work● really enjoying it!● how it feels to use pytest: →
Graphical Forecast Editor
● client/server desktop application used by forecasters to generate the (text & graphical) forecasts
● pilot in VIC, funding to roll out nationally, ~5 year project, 20+ new devs/testers
● existing codebase of Python and C++ (used operationally in US)● home-grown test suite and runner (via GUI)
informative error reporting
informative error reporting
extensible
● e.g. add in unittest assert methods
extensible
● e.g. add hook for winpdb
skip
xfail
custom markers
parametrize
generate tests● defined once per module● list/generate data to supply to 1+ tests● way more flexible cf. py.test.mark.parametrize
generate generators!
monkeypatch
funcargs!
funcargs – idealised db example
funcargs – trivial django example
funcargs – trivial GAE examples
funcargs – trivial GAE examples
funcargs – why?
● dependency injection, aka inversion of control● works a treat with TDD● very natural with mocking● encourages modular design
funcargs – a real DB example
funcargs – a real DB example
funcargs – to express prereq's
● for when a decorator is not powerful enough
funcargs – to hide monkeypatch :)
generate + funcarg - anypython
