Unit tests
When making a change to Signbank, a lot of things can go wrong. The idea of our test suite is that we can quickly test for an installation if all basic functionality is still working.
We have a tests.py file for each application. You can run them all with:
python bin/develop.py test -k
To run only an individual group of tests
python bin/develop.py test -k signbank.dictionary.tests.BasicCRUDTests
To create a fresh small test database based on your current database:
python repo/signbank/create_test_db.py
Test databases should be small, because the Django testing framework puts everything in one JSON string, which takes several minutes on the full database.
Tests whether you can create, read, update and delete glosses. The RUD part is done using the same requests that are run when doing it pushing buttons in the interface.
Also tests whether you can create glosses, using the same requests that are run when pushing buttons in the interface.
