Unit Testing

PyScripter provides important support for unit testing. The support comes in two levels:
a) Automatic generation of test scripts
Use the Unit Test Wizard command from the Tools menu to generate the basic structure of a test
script. This command invokes the following dialog box:
The source code of the active module is scanned and its functions and methods are displayed.
You can select (check) the functions and methods for which you want to generate tests and then
press OK. A test script based on the unittest standard Python module is automatically generated
for you. You can then write the code for each test that is generated.
b) GUI for unit testing
From the View Menu
select Unit Tests to show the Unit Tests window (see this topic for
a detailed
description). This window provides an advanced user interface for running unit tests based on
Python's unittest standard module.
Note:
To use this GUI to run tests from multiple Python files (for example tests1.py, tests2.py and
tests3.py) create a new script with the following content:
from tests1 import *
from tests2 import *
from tests3 import *
Then use the Unit Tests GUI with that file.
