How do you generate dynamic (parameterized) unit tests in python?

Question

I have some kind of test data and want to create a unit test for each item. My first idea was to do it like this:

import unittest

l = [[\"foo\", \"a\", \"a\         


        

Answer 1

Following is my solution. I find this useful when: 1. Should work for unittest.Testcase and unittest discover 2. Have a set of tests to be run for different parameter settings. 3. Very simple no dependency on other packages import unittest

    class BaseClass(unittest.TestCase):
        def setUp(self):
            self.param = 2
            self.base = 2

        def test_me(self):
            self.assertGreaterEqual(5, self.param+self.base)

        def test_me_too(self):
            self.assertLessEqual(3, self.param+self.base)



     class Child_One(BaseClass):
        def setUp(self):
            BaseClass.setUp(self)
            self.param = 4


     class Child_Two(BaseClass):
        def setUp(self):
            BaseClass.setUp(self)
            self.param = 1
