Python unit testing frameworks: Nose, Pytest
2015-02-13 Python's built-in unittest module is quite cool, but a bit limited and way too verbose (read: it's quite not easy to incite developers to write unit tests)
I'm currently looking for more dev-friendly solutions, the key points being:
- writing test code should be easy and straight-forward -keep the focus on "what to test" instead of "how to transcribe a process to a test"
- parallelization! -we, spoiled developers, should make good use of our way-too-many-cores build machines...
- complete feature set!
- we don't want to just run tests...
- coverage reports (find dead/weak/untested code sections)
- output formatting (JUnit-XML seems to be quite a common format out there)
There seem to be 3 solutions in Python:
- stock unittest + project-dependent customizations / test helpers
- nosetests
- py.test
And 2 ways of gettings things done:
- keeping things stock: no external dependency, project-specific implementation...
- using a test framework: one more module in your (test) virtualenv, more concise tests, more features (// run, code coverage, etc.)

The ten project management commandments
2014-12-04 -
Uses a project or repository's history to plot user contributions, displaying an elegant, colored graph of the file arborescence.
After running it on quite different projects...
- Python/Bash CI/Jenkins scripts
- Qt apps: GoldenDict, Psi+
- PHP website: Shaarli
...watching some vids on teh intartubez:
- Minecraft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRjTyRly5WA
- Linux kernel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhDiYPLo3p4
- Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNBtDstOTmA
It allows to arbitrary spot some interesting implementation aspects (sorted by descending impact):
- language-dependent trees (oh hai Java packages ^^)
- framework-dependent trees
- project-management method (none, Agile, TDD)
Having a graphical tool also quickly shows:
- the overall structure of the project (a bit cooler than a simple $ tree, way quicker than loading the project on an IDE)
- the repartition of files (by extensions)
- who are the most active contributors
- what are the most modified files over time
- who does what: additions, deletions, refactoring
Some more CI-related matters:
- are there any tests?
- what is the source code / test code ratio? (we could expect a project/lib with N modules to have at least N test modules)
- who initiates / implements / optimizes test code?
