Basics of Writing Automated Tests in Arjuna¶

Tests are Test Functions¶

Writing a basic test in Arjuna is very easy. Following is a simple test skeleton:

from arjuna import *

@test
def check_test_name(request):
    pass

Create a test module in <Project Root Directory>/test/pkg. The module name should start with the prefix check_
In the python test module file, import all names from Arjuna: from arjuna import *. Ofcourse, as you become more aware of Arjuna’s TPI (tester programming interface), you can do selective imports using Python.
Create a test. In Arjuna, a test is a function marked with @test decorator. It must start with the prefix check_. It should take one mandatory argument: request.
The contents of the test function depend on the test that you want to write.

pytest -p arjuna --project path/to-proj_name --itest check_test_name
