microtest

Back to docs…

Basic Use

Here’s the simplest testing program you can create with microtest:

import microtest


@microtest.test
def function():
    x = 10
    assert x < 0
    

if __name__ == '__main__':
    microtest.run()

To add a function as a part of the test suite, just decorate it with the microtest.test function. This will register the function as a part of the test suite. Inside the test functions you can use the Python’s builtin assert statement to perform all assertions.

All tests that raise AssertionError will be registered as FAILED and all tests that raise any other exceptions will be registered as ERRORS.

The microtest.run function is needed when you want to automatically run the tests when executing this file as a regular python script. It has no effect when running microtest as a module (see running for more details).
