Can build a simple and useful unit test system in python exploiting first class functions, dynamic checks on the names of functions, and a naming convention.


See codepad.org for coloured src and a sample run, or github for a "gist" with highlighted source.

### Begin unit test code


def test_function1():
    # Do some test code
    # return True on Pass, False on Fail


def test_function2_EXPECTED_FAIL():
    # Do some test (more) code
    # return True on Pass, False on Fail


def test_functionN():
    # Do some test (more) code
    # return True on Pass, False on Fail


# Build a list of test functions to run
# as test cases
tests = [ test_function1
        , test_function2_EXPECTED_FAIL
        # as many as you like...
        , test_functionN
        ]


def main():
    failed  = []
    # Invoke each test case in turn
    for t in tests:
        if not t():
            # Can check names of test functions 
            # to detect expected fails
            if t.__name__.endswith("_EXPECTED_FAIL"):
                continue
            # Record fails for later report
            failed.append(t.__name__)
            # Can stop on 1st fail if desired
            # return 1
    # Print the list of tests that failed, if any
    for f in failed:
        print "FAIL:",f
        
# Invoke the test runner
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
