This example shows how to use python unittest and the mock modules

All the code was run with Python version 3.4

python app.py from the root of the app.

To run tests run python -m unittest from the root of the project. Run python -m unittest -v for a more verbal results.

There are 2 packages, simplemath and net. simplemath has a very simple module that contains one class. This module is there in order to run a simple unittest (which is under the tests/simplemath folder) this basic object and test show how to use the unittest module basic.

In the net package, there are 2 classes; One that uses the other. Title is using StatusCheck. This is to show how to use mocking, and how a mock object can replace methods in classes so it will be easier to test them. StatusCheck is testing a web address and also extract the title from it. Title is using this class just for the sake of testing. When the mock object is used, you can see that it always return the value noted there, as well as it doesn't connect anywhere, thus makes it perfect to use for remote API calls or any other method that takes too long or is too dangerous (remotely creating servers / deleting databases and so on).
