Python Testing Example: doctest

This is the example project for Python Testing 101: doctest, part of the Python Testing 101 series from Automation Panda. It will work for Python 2 and 3.

Project Structure

This project has two modules:

com.automationpanda.example.calc_func contains math functions. Doctests are embedded in function docstrings.
com.automationpanda.example.calc_class contains a basic Calculator class. Doctests appear in a separate text file at doctests/test_calc_class.txt.

For com.automationpanda.example.calc_func:

python -m doctest com/automationpanda/example/calc_func.py to run the tests.
python com/automationpanda/example/calc_func.py to run the tests and generate XML reports.

For com.automationpanda.example.calc_class:

python -m doctest doctests/test_calc_class.txt to run the tests in the separate text file.

Warning: By default, doctests will not print anything if tests are successful. Add the -v option to print verbose output.
