lp.services.testing : API documentation

A standard test suite for Launchpad-derived code.

Assumes the following layout beneath base_dir:

stories/ - Contains pagetests doc/ - Contains doctests

Module	customresult	Support code for using a custom test result in test.py.
Module	doctestcodec	Codecs to convert Unicode strings to more human readable representations.
Module	parallel	Parallel test glue.
Module	profiled	Profile the test layers.
Package	tests	No package docstring; 3/3 modules documented

def build_doctest_suite(base_dir, tests_path, special_tests={}, layer=None, setUp=setUp, tearDown=tearDown, package=None):

Build the doc test suite.

def build_test_suite(base_dir, special_tests={}, layer=None, setUp=setUp, tearDown=tearDown, pageTestsSetUp=None):

Build a test suite from a directory containing test files.

The parent's 'stories' subdirectory will be checked for pagetests and the parent's 'doc' subdirectory will be checked for doctests.

Parameters	base_dir	The tests subdirectory that.
	special_tests	A dict mapping filenames to TestSuite objects. These files need special treatment (for instance, they should be run in a different layer, or they need custom setup/teardown). The given TestSuite object will be used for that file, rather than a new one generated.
	layer	The layer in which to run the tests.

Function	build_doctest_suite	Build the doc test suite.
Function	build_test_suite	Build a test suite from a directory containing test files.
