Lestest

Generate boilerplate unittests from given package. Ensures each class or function has a corespondent test.

Install

pip3 install git+https://[email protected]/licenseware/lestest.git

Generate boilerplate tests

From the command line to generate unittest with pytest and tox type:

$ lestest --package app

Where app is the package for which we need the unittests created.

The above command will search in the current folder python packages from which it will generate boilerplate tests in the tests folder.

The boilerplate test generated will contain the import for the class or function found in the package and the test function which will trigger the test.

Trimmed down version of the boilerplate test file:

# test_function_name.py
import pytest
from package.module import function_name


def test_function_name():

    function_name()

Package lestest will try to generate some mock parameters based on the function/class parameters and provide a default assertion based on the response type. Objects marked as private (_func) will be excluded from test generation.

Try to use types as much as posible, this way you will have less work to do in the test.

If you create new functions just run lestest generate and those will have a new coresponded test case.

Run tests

Tests can be triggered with make run-tests. After the test completes you will get also the test coverage.
