The mechanics of how the test system operates are fairly straightforward. When a test case is run, the output is compared with the expected output that is stored in .../Lib/test/output. If the test runs to completion and the actual and expected outputs match, the test succeeds, if -not, it fails. If an ImportError is raised, the test is not run. +not, it fails. If an ImportError or test_support.TestSkipped error is +raised, the test is not run. You will be writing unit tests (isolated tests of functions and objects defined by the module) using white box techniques. Unlike black box |
