Review
Python - nose is a discovery-based unittest extension (e.g. NumPy test module is using nose). Nose collects tests from unittest.TestCase subclasses, of course. But you can also write simple test functions, as well as test classes that are not subclasses of unittest.TestCase. Nose also supplies a number of helpful functions for writing timed tests, testing for exceptions, and other common use cases. Nose collects tests automatically, as long as you follow some simple guidelines for organizing your library and test code. There’s no need to manually collect test cases into test suites. Running tests is responsive, since nose begins running tests as soon as the first test module is loaded. Nose supports fixtures at the package, module, class, and test case level, so expensive initialization can be done as infrequently as possible. |
