Testicle

Extract tests from your project source using simple and flexible rules.

This project was developed to easy the stress of manually writing test for every functions, classes, methods e.t.c in projects which is manage by a small or indie team which has less resources and time to manually write test.

The project generates tests for various programming language using Rules. The rules are defined instruction the program follows in order to generate tests. The rules differs by programming languages as their are different testing frameworks for the languages.

Tests generated by this program can be run by the various languages test runner such as JUnit for java, pytest for pyhton e.t.c sometimes, most time, every time the test should still be reviewed by real human. TDD is currently not valued in this context.

Usage

Building and Installing

This program was written in simple-lang so you need to have simple-lang installed on your system before building the project from source. Follow the instruction below to build an executable on your system. Supply the bake configuration flag base on your build type. debug, release, distributable. The distributable flag generates executables that can be archived and shared to be executed on other system.

cd testicles
simple bake conf.sim debug

This will generates appropriates binaries in the build folder. The bake build instructions is defined in the conf.sim file. To Install the program from source as a simple-lang environment app add the flag --install to the second command.

cd testicles
simple bake conf.sim release --install

It will be installed as a simple-lang environment and can be executed like simple testicles [testicles..arguments].

Example

Generating the test for this project

cd testicles/test/
testicles Sample.sim --test_build_folder=/test/

The test file TestSample.sim will be generated at tests as set in the conf.sim. The following test will be generated

from simple.core.Object
from simple.core.Assertion

class TestSample
	
	var TestSample1
		
	block BeforeTest()
		TestSample1 = new Sample()
	end
	
	block TestDisplayName()
		Assert(IsString(TestSample1.DisplayName()))
		AssertNotEquals("SampleTest Not", TestSample1.DisplayName()) 
	end
	
end
