This package provides a number of testing frameworks.

cleanup

Provides a mixin class for cleaning up after tests that make global changes.

formparser

An HTML parser that extracts form information.

Python 2 only

This is intended to support functional tests that need to extract information from HTML forms returned by the publisher.

See formparser.txt.

loggingsupport

Support for testing logging code

If you want to test that your code generates proper log output, you can create and install a handler that collects output.

loghandler

Logging handler for tests that check logging output.

module

Lets a doctest pretend to be a Python module.

See module.txt.

renormalizing

Regular expression pattern normalizing output checker. Useful for doctests.

server

Provides a simple HTTP server compatible with the zope.app.testing functional testing API. Lets you interactively play with the system under test. Helpful in debugging functional doctest failures.

Python 2 only

setupstack

A simple framework for automating doctest set-up and tear-down. See setupstack.txt.

wait

A small utility for dealing with timing non-determinism See wait.txt.

doctestcase

Support for defining doctests as methods of unittest.TestCase classes so that they can be more easily found by test runners, like nose, that ignore test suites.

zope.testing uses buildout. To start, run python bootstrap.py. It will create a number of directories and the bin/buildout script. Next, run bin/buildout. It will create a test script for you. Now, run bin/test to run the zope.testing test suite.
