Python Testing with pytest in VS Code

This document provides instructions for setting up a Python project using Visual Studio Code and pytest for academic purposes. It outlines the creation of a Calculator class with basic arithmetic methods and the corresponding test cases using pytest, following the 'Arrange, Act, Assert' pattern. Additionally, it includes steps for installing and running coverage.py to generate test coverage reports.

Python 3, Visual Studio Code and pytest

Academic use
Introduction to pytest
In the P06_pytest_project folder, create a folder called calculator
In the calculator folder, create an empty file called __init.py__
In the calculator folder, create a file called [Link]

Paste the following code in [Link]


class Calculator:
def add(self, a, b):
return a + b

def subtract(self, a, b):


return a - b

def multiply(self, a, b):


return a * b

def divide(self, a, b):


if b == 0:
raise ZeroDivisionError("Division by zero error")
return a / b

In the tests folder, create a file called test_calculator.py

Paste the following code in test_calculator.py


from [Link] import Calculator

class TestCalculator:
def test_add(self):
# arrange
a = 4321
b = 1234
cal = Calculator()

# act
result = [Link](a, b)

# assert
expected = 5555
assert result == expected

Run pytest and ensure that all tests pass

Python 3, Visual Studio Code and pytest
Academic use
In the TestCalculator class in test_calculator.py :
• Create at least 1 test case for each method in the Calculator class
• Apply the "Arrange, Act, Assert" pattern to effectively structure your unit tests
• Use the assert method to compare the expected result with the actual result

Paste the methods from the Calculator class and corresponding pytest methods in the table below

function Calculator code pytest code


add def add(self, a, b): def test_add(self):
return a + b # arrange
a = 4321
b = 1234
cal = Calculator()

# act
result = [Link](a, b)

# assert
expected = 5555
assert result == expected
subtract
multiply
divide

Install and run [Link]


To install coverage, run the following command
pip install coverage

To run coverage, run the following command


coverage run --branch -m pytest

To generate the report in HTML format, run the following 2 commands


coverage report -m
coverage html
