Testify

Installation

Testify can be used in the same way as any other Python library. Make sure you have a Python installed with header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed in your development environment. Check to see that your pip, setup tools, and wheel are all current. Installing packages in a virtual environment is often suggested when using pip to avoid system modifications.

With the following command, we can install testify.

pip install testify

Let’s learn about Testify with an example now.

Basic Implementation

Let's start with a simple example:

    from testify import *
    
    class AdditionTestCase(TestCase):
        @class_setup
        def init_the_variable(self):
            self.variable = 0
            
        @setup
        def increment_the_variable(self):
            self.variable += 1

        def test_the_variable(self):
            assert_equal(self.variable, 1)

        @teardown
        def decrement_the_variable(self):
            self.variable -= 1

        @class_teardown
        def get_rid_of_the_variable(self):
            self.variable = None

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        run()

Run Code

We'll want to run the tests now.

There are two possibilities:

• If your test case includes the __main__ check, you can execute the script as you would with unittest.
• Use the testify test runner to execute your tests.

You'll probably want to use the test runner if you're working on a larger project with many test cases.

 Assume your file structure looks like this.

myapp/
  README
  lib/
  tests/
    mytest.py

Then we will run:

testify tests

You can also try this code with Online Python Compiler

Run Code

Output:

  PASSED.  15 tests / 11 cases: 15 passed (0 unexpected), 0 failed (0 expected).  (Total test time 0.00s)

For a complete list of options, run testify —help, or see RunningTests. You can compile it with online python compiler.

We are done with the blog. Let's move to faqs.
