Python Testing Example: unittest

This is the example project for Python Testing 101: doctest, part of the Python Testing 101 series from Automation Panda. It will work for Python 2 and 3.

This project has two packages:

com.automationpanda.example contains calc.py, which has a basic Calculator class.
com.automationpanda.tests contains test_calc.py, which contains unittest test cases.

To run tests from the example project root directory, run one of the following commands:

python -m unittest discover to discover all unit tests in a project
python -m unittest com.automationpanda.tests.test_calc to run the test module by name
python -m unittest com.automationpanda.tests.test_calc.CalculatorTest to run a TestCase class by name
python -m unittest com/automationpanda/tests/test_calc.py to run the test module by file path

Note that unittest tests must be in a Python package from the project root, meaning that the tests directory needs __init__.py.

To generate XML test reports, install unittest-xml-reporting and run:

XML reports will be printed to the test-reports directory.
