NANOTEST

nanotest is a simple unit testing framework for Python.

MOTIVATION

I want a quick way of testing my code. Testing should be easy and fun. It shouldn't get in your way. Actually I think it should almost be as natural as coding your main project. There are many frameworks so why write another one?

Here are a few reasons:

• unittest is great but I find it long to setup. Most of the time, its rigidity frustrates me and I end up skipping the testing phase!

• I want to have fun with tests in Python and have fun creating my own unit testing framework.

USAGE

from nanotest import test

Test (in)equality

test(42).eq(40 + 2)
# 42 should be equal to 42... OK

test(42).ne(40 + 2)
# 42 should not be equal to 42... NOK

Test superiority

test(42).gt(41)
# 42 should be greater than 41... OK

test(42).ge(41)
# 42 should be greater or equal to 41... OK

Test inferiority

test(42).lt(43)
# 42 should be lower than 43... OK

test(42).le(43)
# 42 should be lower or equal to 43... OK

Logical tests

test(True).is_(True)
# True should be True... OK

test(True).is_not(True)
# True should not be True... NOK

Test inclusion

test("Spam, spam, spam and egg").contains("spam")
# 'Spam, spam, spam and egg' should contain 'spam'... OK

test("Spam, spam, spam and egg").contains_no("bacon")
# 'Spam, spam, spam and egg' should not contain 'bacon'... OK

THE NAME

I wanted a tiny testing framework. I like physics so nano sounds good. Hence nanotest ;)
