Report: Demonstrating PyUnit and Pylint with Python

By- Sangamesh Ramesh Yankanchi

Executive Summary

In this report, we will demonstrate the use of both PyUnit and Pylint with Python code. We will provide a
brief introduction to each tool, explain their importance, and then illustrate their usage with code
examples.

1. Introduction to PyUnit (Unittest)

PyUnit, also known as unittest, is a built-in Python library for writing and running unit tests. Unit tests
are essential for ensuring the reliability of your code by verifying that individual components work as
expected. PyUnit provides a framework for defining test cases, organizing them into test suites, and
running tests.
2. Demonstrating PyUnit

Let's consider a simple example where we have a Python function that adds two numbers and we want
to create unit tests for it. Here's the code:

Now, we'll create unit tests for this function using PyUnit:

To run these tests, you would execute python test_calculator.py, and PyUnit will execute the test cases
and report the results.

3. Introduction to Pylint

Pylint is a static code analysis tool that checks Python code against a set of coding standards. t provides
feedback on code quality, potential issues, and style violations, helping developers write cleaner and
more maintainable code.

4. Demonstrating Pylint

Let's analyse a simple Python script using Pylint:

To check this script with Pylint, run the following command:

Pylint will analyse the code and provide a report with information about code quality, possible issues,
and style violations.

5. Conclusion

In this report, we demonstrated the use of PyUnit for unit testing and Pylint for code analysis in Python.
Both tools are essential for maintaining code quality and ensuring the reliability of your Python
applications. Unit testing with PyUnit helps verify the correctness of your code, while Pylint assists in
identifying and fixing code quality issues. Integrating these tools into your Python development process
is crucial for building robust and maintainable software.
