There are two ways to us the PyMock framework. As standalone or as a unittest testcase. If used in standalone mode, we need to create a controller, and when used as a unittest testcase, the controller is created automatically for us.

Stana

=============================================

1. Explain and run write_user_details.py

2. Explaina and Test the output file with test_write_user_details.py

3. Explain the drawbacks of the plumbing we have to do with this type of test. Explain why we need to automate the accepting of UserInput

4. Explain and run test_write_user_details_istub.py and show it's benefits. This is a one step process. However, we are still writing to a file. This too is not good.

5. Explain and run test_write_user_details_iostub.py

6. This is good but we cannot wrote stubs for everything in a large project. It will take too long to do it

7. Here is where mocking comes in. Explain and run test_write_user_details_mock.py

8. We cannot manually run so many test cases. Here is where test suites come in the picture

9. unittest also supports test discovery

python -m unittest discover

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

@unittest.skip("demonstrating skipping")

def test_nothing(self):

self.fail("shouldn't happen")

@unittest.skipIf(mylib.__version__ < (1, 3),

"not supported in this library version")

def test_format(self):

# Tests that work for only a certain version of the library.

pass

@unittest.skipUnless(sys.platform.startswith("win"), "requires Windows")

def test_windows_support(self):

# windows specific testing code

pass

@unittest.skip("showing class skipping")

class MySkippedTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

def test_not_run(self):

pass

class ExpectedFailureTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

@unittest.expectedFailure

def test_fail(self):

self.assertEqual(1, 0, "broken")
