unittests Package¶
unittests Package¶
Elemental function tests to catch changes and ensure correct working functions
There are some unittests for nodes and data types, but not quite enough and yet there are bigger system tests missing.
To run all unit tests, you can run
tests.run_unittests
in the tests folder and
tests.check_unittests
gives you an overview an existing and missing unittests.
Rules:
- Every test class name should end with TestCase.
- It should derive from unittest.TestCase (use import unittest).
- The file structure in the unittests folder is the same as in the software.
- File names get an additional test_-prefix.
- Write documentation (brief as possible).
- In setUp you define your testing variables and for each test group you define a separate function with meaningful name.
- Unittests should be simple and short.
- Use assertion errors.
- Do not use prints.
- As a name for the test use the node class name without the Node.
