Preface

Testing has always been a part of software development. For decades, comprehensive testing

was defined by complex manual test procedures backed by big budgets; but something

revolutionary happened in 1998. In his Guide to Better Smalltalk, Smalltalk guru Kent Beck

introduced an automated test framework called SUnit. This triggered an avalanche of test

frameworks including JUnit, PyUnit, and many others for different languages and various

platforms, dubbed the xUnit movement. Automated testing was made a cornerstone

of the agile movement when 17 top software experts signed the Agile Manifesto in 2001.

Testing includes many different styles including unit testing, integration testing, acceptance

testing, smoke testing, load testing, and countless others. This book digs in and explores

testing at all the important levels while using the nimble power of Python. It also shows many

tools.

This book is meant to expand your knowledge of testing from something you either heard

about or have practiced a little into something you can apply at any level to meet your needs

in improving software quality. I hope to give you the tools to reap huge rewards in better

software development and customer satisfaction.

What this book covers

Chapter 1, Using Unittest to Develop Basic Tests, gives you a quick introduction to the most

commonly used test framework in the Python community.

Chapter 2, Running Automated Tests with Nose, introduces the most ubiquitous Python test

tool and gets busy by showing how to write specialized plugins.

Chapter 3, Creating Testable Documentation with doctest, shows many different ways to use

Python's docstrings to build runnable doctests as well as writing custom test runners.

Chapter 4, Testing Customer Stories with Behavior Driven Development, dives into writing

easy-to-read testable customer stories using doctest, mocking, and Lettuce/Should DSL.

Preface

Chapter 5, High Level Customer Scenarios with Acceptance Testing, helps you get into the

mindset of the customer and write tests from their perspective using Pyccuracy and the

Robot Framework.

Chapter 6, Integrating Automated Tests with Continuous Integration, shows how to add

continuous integration to your development process with Jenkins and TeamCity.

Chapter 7, Measuring your Success with Test Coverage, explores how to create coverage

reports and interpret them correctly. It also digs in to see how to tie them in with your

continuous integration system.

Chapter 8, Smoke/Load Testing—Testing Major Parts, shows how to create smoke test suites

to get a pulse from the system. It also shows how to put the system under load to make sure

it can handle the current load as well as finding the next breaking point for future loads.

Chapter 9, Good Test Habits for New and Legacy Systems, shows many different lessons

learned from the author about what works when it comes to software testing.

What you need for this book

You will need Python 2.6 or above. The recipes in this book have NOT been tested against

Python 3+. This book uses many other Python test tools, but includes detailed steps to show

how to install and use them.

Who this book is for

This book is for Python developers who want to take testing to the next level. It covers different

styles of testing, giving any developer an expanded set of testing skills to help write better

systems. It also captures lessons learned from the author, explaining not only how to write

better tests but why.

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of

information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "Create a new file called recipe1.py to store all of

this recipe's code."

A block of code is set as follows:

def test_parsing_millenia(self):

value = RomanNumeralConverter("M")

self.assertEquals(1000, value.convert_to_decimal())

Preface

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or

items are set in bold:

if __name__ == "__main__":

unittest.main()

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in

menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "The unittest module provides

a convenient way to find all the test methods in a TestClass".
