Testing for Python

[Jonás Mora]

I'm having troubles figuring out how to properly test my gae app.

I already read these articles:

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/localunittesting

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/handlertesting

But I'm still not sure how to proceed, for example, how do I stub a remote component such as bigquery or a ftp server?

I would really appreciate some guidance or recommended lecture, thanks!

Hi Jonás,

Once I tested an integration with payment service like paypall. The important thing is that you want to test if your sistem does the right thing according to the service responses. So what I had done was mocking the service itself returning, returning the controlled responses (XML on that case, but could be anything) when doing my tests. This way they become independent of network or the service itself, making testing quicker and easier.

Just take a look on Mock library (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock) to see how to do this.

I hope it helps you.

Regards,

Renzo Nuccitelli
