python单元测试框架---unittest

仅供个人参考

unittest核心工作原理

四个概念：test case、test suite，test runner，test fixture

test case：
一个测试用例，包括测试前准备环境的搭建(setUp)，执行测试代码(run)，以及测试后环境的还原(tearDown)

TestSuite:
多个测试用例集合在一起就是TestSuite，而且TestSuite可以嵌套TestSuite。

TestLoader：
用于把Testcase加载到TestSuite中。
loadTestsFrom_()方法：从各个地方寻找TestCase，创建他们的实例，然后add到TestSuite中，再返回一个TestSuite实例。

TextTestRunner：
用于执行测试用例。
run(test)会执行TestSuite/TestCase中的run(result)方法。
测试的结果会保存到TextTestResult实例中，包括运行了多少测试用例，成功了多少，失败了多少等信息。
Test fixture：
对一个测试用例环境的搭建和销毁是一个fixture。

1、执行TestCase

（1）定义一个叫mathfunc.py的模块，写入要测试的函数

# 一些待测方法

def adde(a,b):
    return a+b

def minus(a,b):
    return a-b

def multi(a,b):
    return a*b

def divide(a,b):
    return a/b

(2)定义一个叫test_mathfunc.py的模块，用于测试

import unittest
from mathfunc import *

class TestMathFunc(unittest.TestCase):
    """Test mathfunc.py"""
    
    def test_add(self):
        """Test method add(a,b)"""
        self.assertEqual(adde(1,2),3)
        self.assertNotEqual(adde(2,2),3)
        
    def test_minus(self):
        """Test method minus(a,b)"""
        self.assertEqual(1,minus(3,2))
        
    def test_multi(self):
        """Test method multi(a,b)"""
        self.assertEqual(6,multi(2,3))
        
    def test_divide(self):
        """Test method divide(a,b)"""
        self.assertEqual(2,divide(6,3))
        self.assertEqual(3,divide(5,2))
        
if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

在终端执行python test_mathfunc.py
结果：

PS C:\Study\vscode\PythonWorkplace\测试模块unittest> python .\test_suite.py
test_add (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method add(a,b) ... ok
test_minus (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method minus(a,b) ... ok
test_multi (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method multi(a,b) ... ok
test_divide (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method divide(a,b) ... FAIL

======================================================================
FAIL: test_divide (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Study\vscode\PythonWorkplace\测试模块unittest\test_mathfunc.py", line 23, in test_divide 
    self.assertEqual(3,divide(5,2))
AssertionError: 3 != 2.5

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.002s

FAILED (failures=1)

2、将TestCase都加载到suite中再执行测试用例

创建一个新的模块test_suite.py
（1）有顺序的加载testcase进入suite中：

import unittest
from unittest import runner
from test_mathfunc import TestMathFunc

if __name__ =='__main__':
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()
    #将所有的测试用例放入一个list中
	tests = [TestMathFunc("test_add"),TestMathFunc("test_minus"),TestMathFunc("test_multi"),TestMathFunc("test_divide")]
	#将该list中的用例加入到suite中
    suite.addTests(tests)
	
	#运行测试用例
	# verbosity可以控制输出的错误报告的详细程度，默认是1
    # 如果是0则不输出每一用例的执行结果。
    # 如果是2，则详细输出执行结果。
	runner = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2)
    runner.run(suite)

结果：

PS C:\Study\vscode\PythonWorkplace\测试模块unittest> python .\test_suite.py
test_add (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method add(a,b) ... ok
test_minus (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method minus(a,b) ... ok
test_multi (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method multi(a,b) ... ok
test_divide (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method divide(a,b) ... FAIL

======================================================================
FAIL: test_divide (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Study\vscode\PythonWorkplace\测试模块unittest\test_mathfunc.py", line 23, in test_divide 
    self.assertEqual(3,divide(5,2))
AssertionError: 3 != 2.5

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.002s

FAILED (failures=1)

(2)将testcase无序加入suite中

suite.addTests(unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromName('test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc'))

#或是
suite.addTests(unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromNames(['test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc']))

3、将测试结果输出到文件中

import unittest
from unittest import runner
from test_mathfunc import TestMathFunc

if __name__ =='__main__':
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()
	suite.addTest(unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(TestMathFunc))
    
    with open('UnitestTextRepot.txt','a') as f:
        runner = unittest.TextTestRunner(stream=f,verbosity=2)
        runner.run(suite)

然后就可以在这个.py相同目录下看到自动生成的UnitestTextRepot.txt文件啦！

4、使用test fixture的setUp()和tearDown()

修改test_mathfunc.py

PS C:\Study\vscode\PythonWorkplace\测试模块unittest> python .\test_suite.py   
test_add (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method add(a,b) ... do something before test.Prepare environment.
add
do something after test.Clean up.
ok
test_minus (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method minus(a,b) ... do something before test.Prepare environment.
minus
do something after test.Clean up.
ok
test_multi (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method multi(a,b) ... do something before test.Prepare environment.
multi
do something after test.Clean up.
ok
test_divide (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method divide(a,b) ... do something before test.Prepare environment.
divide
do something after test.Clean up.
FAIL

======================================================================
FAIL: test_divide (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method divide(a,b)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Study\vscode\PythonWorkplace\测试模块unittest\test_mathfunc.py", line 33, in test_divide
    self.assertEqual(3,divide(5,2))
AssertionError: 3 != 2.5

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.004s

FAILED (failures=1)

可以看出，setUp()在每隔测试方法执行前执行一次
tearDown()方法在每个测试方法执行后执行一次。
setUp()用来为测试准备环境
tearDown()用来清理环境，为之后测试做准备

如果在所有case执行之前准备一次环境，在所有case执行结束之后再清理环境，使用setUpClass()与tearDownClass()

class TestMathFunc(unittest.TestCase):

	@classmethod
	def setUpClass(cls):
		print("This setUpClass() method only called once.")

	@classmethod
	def tearDownClass(cls):
		print("This tearDownClass() method only called once too.")

5、跳过某个case

1、skip装饰器

class TestMathFunc(unittest.TestCase):
	"""Test mathfuc.py"""
	...
	@unittest.skip("I don't want to run this case.")
	def test_divide(self):
		"""Test method divide(a,b)"""
		print("divide")
		self.assertEqual(2,divide(6,3))
		self.assertEqual(3,divide(5,2))

执行：

test_add (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method add(a, b) ... ok
test_divide (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method divide(a, b) ... skipped "I don't want to run this case."
test_minus (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method minus(a, b) ... ok
test_multi (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method multi(a, b) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.000s

OK (skipped=1)

skip装饰器共3个：

• unittest.skip(reason) skip无条件跳过
• unittest.skipIf(condition,reason) skipIf当condition为True时跳过
• unittest.skipUnless(condition,reason) 当condition为False时跳过

2、TestCase.skipTest()方法

class TestMathFunc(unittest.TestCase):
	"""Test mathfuc.py"""
	...
	
	def test_divide(self):
		"""Test method divide(a,b)"""
		self.skipTest('Do not run this.')
		print("divide")
		self.assertEqual(2,divide(6,3))
		self.assertEqual(3,divide(5,2))

输出：

test_add (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method add(a, b) ... ok
test_divide (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method divide(a, b) ... skipped "Do not run this."
test_minus (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method minus(a, b) ... ok
test_multi (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
Test method multi(a, b) ... ok

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.000s

OK (skipped=1)

6、导出HTMLReport

实现导出HTMLReport需要使用第三方的HTMLTestRunner.py模块，需要下载（下载文件在本文最下方），放到当前目录下，或是你安装python的目录，C:/Pythonxxx/Lib 下，然后在test_suite.py中导入运行即可。

在test_suite.py中写入：

import unittest
from unittest import runner
from test_mathfunc import TestMathFunc
from HTMLTestRunner import *
if __name__ =='__main__':
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()
    tests = [TestMathFunc("test_add"),TestMathFunc("test_minus"),TestMathFunc("test_multi"),TestMathFunc("test_divide")]
    suite.addTests(tests)
    #输出HTML报告
    with open('HTMLReport.html','wb') as f:
        runner = HTMLTestRunner(stream=f,title='MathFunc Test Report',
                                description='generated by HTMLTestRunner.',
                                verbosity=2)
        runner.run(suite)

控制台结果：

PS C:\Study\vscode\PythonWorkplace\测试模块unittest> python .\test_suite.py
ok test_add (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
ok test_minus (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
ok test_multi (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)
F  test_divide (test_mathfunc.TestMathFunc)

Time Elapsed: 0:00:00.001994

输出的HTMLReport.html报告在test_suite.py的当前目录中，view in browse即可看到输出文档。

注意点：输出文档出现乱码
需要保证test_suite.py中写文件时是使用的二进制写入还是字符串写入。
二进制写入：
with open('HTMLReport.html','wb') as f: 中wb的b表示二进制写入。
则在HTMLTestRunner.py模块中为：
self.stream.write(output.encode('utf-8'))
字符串写入：
with open('HTMLReport.html','w',encoding='uft-8') as f:
则在HTMLTestRunner.py模块中为：
self.stream.write(output)

最后，HTMLTestRunner.py模块源码如下，复制粘贴即可。

"""
A TestRunner for use with the Python unit testing framework. It
generates a HTML report to show the result at a glance.
The simplest way to use this is to invoke its main method. E.g.
    import unittest
    import HTMLTestRunner
    ... define your tests ...
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        HTMLTestRunner.main()
For more customization options, instantiates a HTMLTestRunner object.
HTMLTestRunner is a counterpart to unittest's TextTestRunner. E.g.
    # output to a file
    fp = file('my_report.html', 'w',encoding='utf-8')
    runner = HTMLTestRunner.HTMLTestRunner(
                stream=fp,
                title='My unit test',
                description='This demonstrates the report output by HTMLTestRunner.'
                )
    # Use an external stylesheet.
    # See the Template_mixin class for more customizable options
    runner.STYLESHEET_TMPL = ''
    # run the test
    runner.run(my_test_suite)
