python-subunit Description

A streaming protocol for test results python-subunit is a Python implementation of subunit test streaming protocol.The protocol is human readable and easily generated and parsed. By design all the components of the protocol conceptually fit into the xUnit TestCase->TestResult interaction.Subunit comes with command line filters to process a subunit stream and language bindings for python, C, C++ and shell. Bindings are easy to write for other languages.A number of useful things can be done easily with subunit: * Test aggregation: Tests run separately can be combined and then reported/displayed together. For instance, tests from different languages can be shown as a seamless whole. * Test archiving: A test run may be recorded and replayed later. * Test isolation: Tests that may crash or otherwise interact badly with each other can be run seperately and then aggregated, rather than interfering with each other. * Grid testing: subunit can act as the necessary serialisation and deserialiation to get test runs on distributed machines to be reported in real time.Subunit supplies the following filters: * tap2subunit - convert perl's TestAnythingProtocol to subunit. * subunit2pyunit - convert a subunit stream to pyunit test results. * subunit2gtk - show a subunit stream in GTK. * subunit2junitxml - convert a subunit stream to JUnit's XML format. * subunit-diff - compare two subunit streams. * subunit-filter - filter out tests from a subunit stream. * subunit-ls - list info about tests present in a subunit stream. * subunit-stats - generate a summary of a subunit stream. * subunit-tags - add or remove tags from a stream.
