Command-Line Interface

Let's explore CLI and see how it can be used with unittest module.

We'll cover the following...

The unittest module comes with a few other commands that we might find useful.

Testing the implementation using commands

Let’s try some commands in the terminal given below and see the output.

#test_mymath2.py
import mymath
import unittest

class TestAdd(unittest.TestCase):
    """
    Test the add function from the mymath library
    """

    def test_add_integers(self):
        """
        Test that the addition of two integers returns the correct total
        """
        result = mymath.add(1, 2)
        self.assertEqual(result, 3)

    def test_add_floats(self):
        """
        Test that the addition of two floats returns the correct result
        """
        result = mymath.add(10.5, 2)
        self.assertEqual(result, 12.5)

    def test_add_strings(self):
        """
        Test the addition of two strings returns the two string as one
        concatenated string
        """
        result = mymath.add('abc', 'def')
        self.assertEqual(result, 'abcdef')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()
Testing different unitest commands

To find out what they are, we can run the unittest module directly and pass it ...
