Contributing_PyTest

For our internal software testing we use PyTest. The package is useful for unit and integration tests.

Installation

For using PyTest you need to install it via pip.

python -m pip install pytest

or just automatically install all our dependencies

python -m pip -r install requirements.txt

Create a test

First you create a class that is called something like test_name.py. This is important because PyTest will search for files with a leading test. In that file you create your test function that also needs to have the leading test_.

def test_say_hello():
    obj = PyClass()
    result = obj.say_hello()
    assert result == "Hello"

Run tests

To run all the test you can either go to your terminal and enter

python -m pytest

or you can create a test configuration in PyCharm.

• open Run
• click Edit Configurations
• hit +
• look for pytest in Pyhon tests
• click OK

Now you can select this configuration and press the green run button.
