Testing in Python - Unit Test & Script

This document provides an introduction to unit testing and scripts in Python. It discusses: 1) Writing functions in Python using if/elif/else statements and for loops. 2) Calling functions from files using import statements. 3) Writing test cases using simple assertions or the unittest library to test functions. 4) Examples are given testing a function that finds the maximum value in a list using both assertion tests and unittest tests.

TESTING IN PYTHON – UNIT TEST & SCRIPT

Version 1.0
This is a supplementary material of the Course “Software Quality Assurance – Testing”, FPT University
delivered by Tran Dinh Que, [email protected] . This file will be updated regularly and display in class.
The simplest tool for editing code is notepad. Since we only need to write functions for unit testing,
notepad is enough .
The purpose of this tutorial is to assist students to be familiar with Python:
 Writing functions in Python (if…elif…else, for)
 Call functions from some file
 Writing script for testing (unit and integration) in Python
There are two simple ways of unit testing SCRIPT with test cases in Python
 Using simple assertion
 Using library unittest
If not being familiar with Python yet, you can download and implement
https://www.python.org/downloads/.
1. Delicious smell of Python
Easy to access, easy to learn coding
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_lists.htm
1.1.Definition of functions in python
#Define sum of sequence of numbers
def sum(arg):
total = 0
for val in arg:
total += val
return total

#Define max of a sequence of numbers


def maxSequence(u):
max = u[0]
for elem in u:
if elem > max:
max = elem
return max
1.2. If…elif….else in Python
def functCond1(x,y):
if (1 > x > 0) and y > 0:
return x+y
elif (x > 1) and y < 0:
return x*y
1
else:
return x-y

1.3.Call functions from functions


def max2(x,y):
if x >= y:
return x
else:
return y
def max3(x,y,z):
t = max2(x,y);
u = max2(t,z);
return u

1.4.Call functions from files


Refer: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-call-function-from-another-file/

You need to edit three files

# edit file number1: display.py


# function defined in display.py
def displayText():
print("\n Hello !")

# edit file number2: calc.py


# functions defined in calc.py
def addNumbers(a, b):
print("Sum is ", a + b)
def subtractNumbers(a, b):
print("Difference is ", a-b)
def multiplyNumbers(a, b):
print("Product is ", a * b)

def divideNumbers(a, b):


print("Division is ", a / b)
def modulusNumbers(a, b):
print("Remainder is ", a % b)

#edit file number3: fileTest.py


# importing all the functions defined in calc.py

from calc import *

# importing required functions


# defined in display.py

from display import displayText


2
# calling functions defined
# in calc.py

addNumbers(25, 6)
subtractNumbers(25, 6)
multiplyNumbers(25, 6)
divideNumbers(25, 6)
modulusNumbers(25, 6)

# calling function defined


# in display.py

displayText()
2. Testing – Test cases – Assertion
Example 1
def functCond1(x,y):
if (1 > x > 0) and y > 0:
return x+y
elif (x > 1) and y < 0:
return x*y
else:
return x-y
def test_functCond1():
assert functCond1(1,-5) == 6, "Should be 6"
if __name__ == "__main__":
test_functCond1()
print("Everything passed")
Example 2
a. Edit file maxSeq.py containing the following function
======
#Define max of a sequence of numbers
def maxSequence(u):
max = u[0]
for elem in u:
if elem > max:
max = elem
return max
b. Edit file for testing maxSeqTesting.py containing the following function
======
#syntax for testing testcases
#without library unittest
def test_maxSequence():
assert maxSequence([1, 2, 3]) == 3, "Should be 3"
#you replace 3 by 2 to see what occurs!
if __name__ == "__main__":

3
test_maxSequence()
print("Everything passed")
c. Write test cases and Testing. Happy with this

3. Testing – Test cases – Unittest


Example 1
import unittest
#Define sum of sequence of numbers
def sum(arg):
total = 0
for val in arg:
total += val
return total
#build test
class TestSum(unittest.TestCase):
#inherit from unittest
def test_list_int(self):
data = [1, 2, 3]
result = sum(data)
self.assertEqual(result, 6)
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
Example 2: Using two types of testing. Enjoy 
a. Edit in one file maxD.py
##Define max of a sequence of numbers
def maxDayso(u):
max = u[0]
for x in u:
if x >= max:
max = x
return max
b. Edit in one file maxAserTest
##syntax for testing testcases
##without library unittest
from maxD import *
def test_maxDayso():
assert maxDayso([1, 2, 3]) == 3, "Should be 3"

if __name__ == "__main__":
test_maxDayso()
print("Everything passed")

c. Edit in one file maxUnitTest

import unittest
from maxD import *
4
class TestmaxDay(unittest.TestCase):
#inherit from unittest
def test_list_int(self):
data = [1, 2, 3]
result = maxDayso(data)
self.assertEqual(result, 4)
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()

Running and enjoy 
