unittest_expander – test parametrization library

Welcome to the documentation for unittest_expander – a Python library that provides flexible and easy-to-use tools to parametrize unit tests, especially (but not limited to) those based on unittest.TestCase.

• Getting Started
  • Installing
  • Usage example
• Narrative Documentation
  • Basic use of expand() and foreach()
  • More flexibility: param
  • Other ways to explicitly label your tests
  • Smart parameter collection: paramseq
  • Combining several foreach() to get Cartesian product
  • Context-manager-based fixtures: param.context()
  • Convenience shortcut: paramseq.context()
  • Contexts cannot suppress exceptions unless you enable that explicitly
  • Context order
  • Access the current parametrized test’s metadata via current
  • Deprecated feature: accepting label and context_targets as keyword arguments
  • Substitute objects
  • Custom method name formatting
  • Name clashes avoided automatically
  • Questions and answers about various details…
