A Study in Fixture Based Testing Frameworking

A (probably) new structure for fixture organization and integration into unittest. A minimal layer on top of unittest that allows declarative fixtures to define new tests. Designed for unit testing but explores new integration testing patterns as well.

This package is stored in PyPI and can be installed the standard way:

pip install torment

The latest release available is:

Usage of this package is documented with sphinx and available at http://torment.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

If you would prefer to clone this package directly from git or assist with development, the URL is https://github.com/kumoru/torment.

Known issues can be found in the github issue list at https://github.com/kumoru/torment/issues.

If you need to troubleshoot an issue or submit information in a bug report, we recommend obtaining logs (probably from nose) while enabling log capture of torment. Torment uses logging to submit informational and debug messages but also sets a NullHandler by default.
