Pytest-Assassin

Pytest-Assassin is a plugin for pytest that allows users to have the ability to check and see if their test cases contain assert statements or not. This will help with the problem of useless test cases that are not doing anything for the program.

Features

Welcome to Pytest-Assassin! Here at Pytest-Assassin, we want to destroy the test cases that is wrong for your program. Our key features are checking for asserts within your test cases. We are confident that mostly everyone has written a test case that either assert nothing or makes sure that a container, if you will, is filled. While the latter is not bad, it is not what a program needs! A program needs test cases that will run through the function, take the expected output and compare it to the actual output. So in other words, a program needs Pytest Assassin!
