light test runner for Python

Project description

ptest is a light test runner for Python. With ptest, you can tag test classes & test cases by decorators, execute test cases by command line, and get clear reports.

Find the latest version on github: https://github.com/KarlGong/ptest or PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ptest

The documentation is on github wiki: https://github.com/KarlGong/ptest/wiki/documentation

Installation

The last stable release is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip.

$ pip install ptest

Pycharm Plugin

A Pycharm plugin for ptest is released. Now it is easily to run/debug ptest within the IDE using the standard run configuration. Find the latest version on github: https://github.com/KarlGong/ptest-pycharm-plugin or JetBrains: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7860

Best Practice

Firstly, create a python file: c:\folder\mytest.py

You can tag test class, test, before method, after method by adding decorator @TestClass, @Test, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod.

from ptest.decorator import TestClass, Test, BeforeMethod, AfterMethod
from ptest.assertion import assert_equals, fail, assert_not_none
from ptest.plogger import preporter
from ptest import config

@TestClass(run_mode="parallel")  # the test cases in this class will be executed by multiple threads
class PTestClass:
    @BeforeMethod(description="Prepare test data.")
    def before(self):
        preporter.info("setting expected result.")
        self.expected = 10

    @Test(tags=["regression", "smoke"])
    def test1(self):
        assert_equals(10, self.expected)  # pass

    @Test(tags="smoke, nightly")
    def test2(self):
        assert_not_none(config.get_property("key"))  # assert the property defined via -D<key>=<value> in cmd line

    @Test(enabled=False)  # won't be run
    def test3(self):
        fail("failed")

    @AfterMethod(always_run=True, description="Clean up")
    def after(self):
        preporter.info("cleaning up")

Then start to execute all the testcases in module mytest.py with 2 threads. Use -w to specify the workspace, -t to specify the target and -n to specify the number of test executors(threads). In this case, workspace is c:\folder, target is mytest and number of test executors is 2.

$ ptest -w c:\folder -t mytest -n 2

The target can be package/module/class/method. If the target is package/module/class, all the test cases under target will be executed. For example, if you only want to execute the test test1 in this module.

$ ptest -w c:\folder -t mytest.PTestClass.test1

For more options, please use -h.

$ ptest -h

For more examples, please refer to the examples folder in source distribution.
