I would be very interested in such a beast. It's way too hard to do unit testing in Zope right now. I'm not sure about how it should be designed, but that's what the fishbowl is for. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lalo Martins" <lalo@hackandroll.org> To: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Monday, October 23, 2000 8:56 PM Subject: [Zope-dev] Unit testing, ZUnit We (I and Hiperlógica) started to develop a Product we called ZUnit, intended for XP-style unit-testing Python-based Products in a full Zope environment (with a real ZODB, REQUEST, RESPONSE, etc). We first conceived it as a kind of Zope-based version of unittestgui.py - you create a "TestRunner" object giving it the package, module and name of a TestSuite object generator (see the PyUnit documentation) and inside it you may click on some widget to run the tests and produce a "TestResult" object which you can inspect later. Does this sound like a good design? Then I figured in the long run a Product isn't the best sollution; instead, fiddling with App/Product* sounds more like it, to allow developers to register tests just like they register classes, ZClass superclasses, _misc and help. Of course, just like the current registerHelp and others, it wouldn't be mandatory and not using it wouldn't break anything. Then, in the Product's page in the Control Panel, there would be a tab "Test", where you'd be allowed to run the unit tests. What do people think of this? What does DC think of this? Can I go ahead and develop it in this direction? (I will create a proposal in dev.zope.org, but I want to get some feedback here first to flesh out the proposal a little more.)
