A quick introduction to Bazaar's core functionality.
75
IVLE has a small (but growing) set of test cases. After making any significant
76
changes to the codebase developers are strongly recommended to run the test
77
suite and, if a test fails, correct their code or fix the test case.
79
IVLE currently uses `nose
80
<http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/>`_ for its test suite. For
81
simple functions the easiest way of writing a test is to use the `doctests
82
<http://docs.python.org/library/doctest.html>`_ style of test markup. The
83
``nosetests`` script will automatically detect and run these test cases. For
84
more complex tests, you will probably need to write a test module. Test
85
modules are any module with a name of the form ``test_MODULENAME.py``. Any
86
function with the word 'test' in it's name will be run and should throw an
87
exception or fail an assert if the test case fails.
89
To run the test suite either run the ``ivle-testsuite`` script from
90
``lp:~ivle-dev/ivle/dev-scripts`` or run ``IVLECONF="." nosetests`` in the top
91
level directory of an IVLE checkout.
