WriteUnitTest

Write a formatted and readable unit test for any input

Contributed by: Jason Biggs

ResourceFunction["WriteUnitTest"][file,expr]

evaluates expr and uses the result to write a VerificationTest in file.

Details and Options

If file does not exist, it will be created. If it does exist, the new test will be added before the EndTestSection[] line.

If the option "ConfirmResults" is set to the default value of True, a dialog will appear showing the test before writing it to the file.

Create a unit test and write it to file:

In[1]:=

$ResourceFunction["WriteUnitTest"]["testFile1.wlt", f[x0_] := Module[{x = x0}, While[x > 0, x = Log[x]]; x ]; f[2.0] ]$

Out[1]=

Run the test:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Use the option "ConfirmResults" to write the test to file without verifying the results:

In[3]:=

In[4]:=

In[5]:=

Each test was appended to the file:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=
