PYTHON FOR COMPUTATIONAL PROBLEM SOLVING
Introduction
➢ Testing is a process by which one or more expected behaviors
and results from a piece of software are exercised and confirmed.
➢ Large set of tools and libraries are available in python library for automated testing.

Python testing framework are:


➢ Robot

➢ PyTest

➢ Unittest

➢ DocTest

➢ Nose2

➢ Testif

➢ We will discuss only pytest framework.

Advantages of pytest

➢Very easy to start with because of its simple and easy syntax.
➢Can run tests in parallel.
➢Can run a specific test or a subset of tests
➢Automatically detect tests
➢Skip tests
➢Open source

Pytest installation

To install the pytest, execute the following command:


pip install pytest==2.9.1

To confirm the installation of pytest,use the following command:


py.test -h

File identification and test methods
➢ File name has to starts with test_ .py or ends with * _test.py .
➢ Test function name has to start withtest_one.py
“test”. - valid
Examples of pytest file names one_test.py - valid
testtwo.py -invalid
twotest.py -invalid

Examples of test method


def test_method(): - valid
def testmethod(): - valid
def method_test(): - invalid

How to run?

➢ To run only specific file test cases, use py.test <filename>


py.test test_example1.py

➢ If you need more information, use -v or –verbose:


py.test test_example1.py -v

➢ To run more than one but not all the files in the folder use py.test
<filename1><filename2><filename3> and so on.
py.test test_one.py test_example1.py

➢ To run all the pytest files in the directory :


py.test

Assertions in PyTest

Assertions are expression that return the status either True or False based on the
condition .

Syntax
assert <condition>,<error message>

Examples
assert "corona" == "corona2020" is an assertion failure.
assert 2==2 is a successful assertion
assert True is a successful assertion
assert False is an assertion failure.

Pytest first program
1.Create the new directory named “testing “or any other name and navigate into your
directory from the command line.

2.Create the file named “test_example1.py” and add the below code and save it.

import pytest
def func(x):
return x + 1

def test_answer():
assert func(2) == 3
