In
...
Python,
...
as
...
is
...
the
...
case
...
with
...
most
...
languages,
...
unit
...
testing
...
is
...
automated
...
within
...
a
...
framework
...
that
...
takes
...
as
...
input,
...
a
...
test
...
case
...
and
...
code
...
on
...
which
...
to
...
run
...
the
...
test
...
case.
...
As
...
output,
...
it
...
generates
...
a
...
test
...
report
...
on
...
the
...
results
...
of
...
having
...
executed
...
the
...
test
...
case.
...
The
...
unit
...
testing
...
framework
...
in
...
the
...
Python
...
library
...
is
...
implemented
...
in
...
the
...
unittest
...
module.
...
This
...
tutorial
...
will
...
describe
...
one
...
approach
...
to
...
using
...
unittest.

For

a

A
...
test
...
case
...
is
...
a
...
class
...
containing
...
methods
...
for
...
testing
...
each
...
requirement
...
of
...
a
...
feature
...
to
...
ensure
...
all
...
aspects
...
of
...
the
...
specification
...
are
...
implemented
...
and
...
function
...
correctly.
...
We
...
implement
...
test
...
cases
...
as
...
subclasses
...
of
...
unittest.TestCase.
...
Our
...
first
...
step
...
will
...
be
...
to
...
implement
...
an
...
empty
...
test
...
case
...
and
...
run
...
it
...
to
...
be
...
sure
...
we
...
have
...
the
...
basics
...
in
...
place.
...
Following
...
is
...
a
...
code
...
listing
...
for
...
our
...
initial
...
test
...
case
...
in
...
a
...
file
...
called
...
term_test.py.
