Product Tests

Richard Brooksby, Ravenbrook Limited, 2000-12-13

1. Introduction

This document lists the tests which have been written to measure the quality of the Perforce Defect Tracking Integration product.

This document will be updated as new tests are created.

The readership of this document is anyone developing or extending the product sources.

This document is not confidential.

These tests use the Python unit test framework [PyUnit]. To use the framework with these tests, put the module unittest.py from the PyUnit distribution on Python's library path. New unit test scripts should be called test_module.py, where module.py is the module being tested. Each test script should define a function called tests, which returns an object belonging to the unittest.TestSuite class. The run_tests.py script finds all tests in the current directory and runs them.

To run the unit test for the message module, run the command python test_message.py.

To run the "wrapping" test case (only) from the unit test for the message module, run the command python test_message.py wrapping.

To run all the tests in this directory, run the command python run_tests.py.

run_tests.py Run all tests.
