Unittest Writer

Quick Start

创建基本测试用例：

import unittest

class TestStringMethods(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_upper(self):
        self.assertEqual('foo'.upper(), 'FOO')

    def test_isupper(self):
        self.assertTrue('FOO'.isupper())
        self.assertFalse('Foo'.isupper())

    def test_split(self):
        s = 'hello world'
        self.assertEqual(s.split(), ['hello', 'world'])
        with self.assertRaises(TypeError):
            s.split(2)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

Basic Structure

Test Class

继承 unittest.TestCase 创建测试类：

import unittest

class TestMyFunction(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_method_name(self):
        pass

Test Methods

• 测试方法必须以 test_ 开头
• 每个测试方法应该独立运行
• 使用断言方法验证结果

setUp and tearDown

在测试前准备环境，测试后清理资源：

class TestDatabase(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.db = Database()
        self.db.connect()

    def tearDown(self):
        self.db.disconnect()

    def test_query(self):
        result = self.db.query('SELECT * FROM users')
        self.assertIsNotNone(result)

Common Assertions

Equality

self.assertEqual(a, b)           # a == b
self.assertNotEqual(a, b)        # a != b

Boolean

self.assertTrue(x)              # bool(x) is True
self.assertFalse(x)             # bool(x) is False

Comparison

self.assertGreater(a, b)        # a > b
self.assertGreaterEqual(a, b)   # a >= b
self.assertLess(a, b)           # a < b
self.assertLessEqual(a, b)      # a <= b

Membership

self.assertIn(item, container)  # item in container
self.assertNotIn(item, container)

Identity

self.assertIs(a, b)             # a is b
self.assertIsNot(a, b)

None

self.assertIsNone(x)            # x is None
self.assertIsNotNone(x)

Exceptions

with self.assertRaises(ValueError):
    raise ValueError('error message')

with self.assertRaises(TypeError) as cm:
    invalid_operation()
self.assertEqual(str(cm.exception), 'expected message')

Floating Point

self.assertAlmostEqual(a, b, places=7)
self.assertNotAlmostEqual(a, b)

Test Organization

Test Discovery

unittest 自动发现测试：

python -m unittest discover
python -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_*.py'

Test Modules

按模块组织测试：

project/
├── mymodule.py
└── tests/
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── test_mymodule.py
    └── test_other.py

Test Suites

手动组织测试套件：

def suite():
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()
    suite.addTest(TestStringMethods('test_upper'))
    suite.addTest(TestStringMethods('test_split'))
    return suite

if __name__ == '__main__':
    runner = unittest.TextTestRunner()
    runner.run(suite())

Running Tests

Command Line

# 运行所有测试
python -m unittest

# 运行特定模块
python -m unittest test_module

# 运行特定类
python -m unittest test_module.TestClass

# 运行特定方法
python -m unittest test_module.TestClass.test_method

# 详细输出
python -m unittest -v test_module

# 停止在第一个失败
python -m unittest -f test_module

Within Script

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

Best Practices

1. One assertion per test: 每个测试方法专注于一个行为
2. Descriptive names: 使用描述性的测试方法名
3. Independent tests: 测试之间不应有依赖
4. Arrange-Act-Assert: 组织测试代码结构
5. Test edge cases: 测试边界条件和异常情况

Advanced Features

Skipping Tests

@unittest.skip('reason')
def test_feature(self):
    pass

@unittest.skipIf(condition, 'reason')
def test_feature(self):
    pass

@unittest.skipUnless(condition, 'reason')
def test_feature(self):
    pass

Expected Failures

@unittest.expectedFailure
def test_feature(self):
    pass

Test Context Managers

def test_context_manager(self):
    with self.assertLogs('logger', level='INFO') as cm:
        logging.getLogger('logger').info('message')
    self.assertIn('message', cm.output)
