TESD

The easiest possible test to write - you don't even have to reach back up and press 't' again. A minimal testing environment free of integration needs.

No dependencies. No package to import. No framework APIs. No virtual environments needed. No setuptools or distutils. Just copy one module file to where your test scripts are. Nothing to import.

Example

Put all tests in their own directory/zip with this __main__.py:

.
├── myproj
│   └── __init__.py       <-- your stuff
└── tesds
  ├── __main__.py         <-- TESD __main__.py
  ├── function1test.py    <-- your tests
  ├── function2test.py    <-- your tests
  └── submoduletests.py   <-- your tests

Example Failing test function2test.py:

import myproj
assert False, "haven't implemented function 2"

Run tests:

$ ls
myproj  tesds
$ python tesds
tesd PASS - module function1test
tesd FAIL - module function2test
  haven't implemented function 2
tesd PASS - module submoduletests

Detailed How-To

1. Put test scripts in sibling directory of your code
   • or somewhere else and update TEST_DIRECTORY to point to test scripts
     • and update WORKING_DIR to point to your code
2. When a test fails, make noise however you want.
   • Print
   • assert fail
   • throw Error
3. Run tests
   • python tesds
   • python3 tesds
