Testing for external resource consistency / skipping django tests
I'm writing tests for a Django application that uses an external data source. Obviously, I'm using fake data to test all the inner workings of my class but I'd like to have a couple of tests for the actual fetcher as well. One of these will need to verify that the external source is still sending the data in the format my application exp...

Developing XSLT with TDD/BDD
I've been assigned the task of creating an XSLT transform on an XML dump from a database. Being a believer of Test/Behavior Driven Development I was wondering if anyone has attempted it before or has advice about how to go about it. My gut reaction is to test this 'black box' with rspec. Is there a unit testing framework out there f...

What to do with non-regressive tests?
Not really a Ruby on Rails question, but that is the framework which we are working in. We are migrating data from a legacy system into our own system, and have been testing the code that will do the data migrations.

How to unit test functions calling localtime() in Perl?
I have a method calling localtime that I wrote a unit test for. I seed the call to localtime in my test so that I know the expected answers. So far, so good. I happen to run the unit test on a machine in a different timezone and, predictably, the tests fail, because they're some # of hours off. I suppose I could dynamically determine...
Unit testing infrastructure for a python module
Hi there, I'm writing a python module and I would like to unit test it. I am new to python and somewhat bamboozled by the options available. Currently, I would like to write my tests as doctests as I like the declarative rather than imperative style (however, feel free to disabuse me of this preference if it is misinformed). This rai...
Is integration testing an umbrella term and if so, what types of tests does it include?
I find the concept of 'integration testing' confusing. There seems to be quite a few explanations and scopes: Functional/acceptance testing (e.g. testing the user interface with for example, Selenium) Testing the integration of different classes/modules of software together (simply testing two or more classes together, without them doi...

How to execute a method when a test fails
I am unit-testing a a .NET project using visual studio's own framework where each test needs to close certain connections so that the next test may run correctly. However, when a test fails, this cleanup is not performed, and as a result all subsequent tests fail. Is there a way I can execute a method everytime a test fails? ...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to choose between a couple of different HTML parsers for a project I am working on, part of which accepts HTML input from the client.

How can Twisted Deferred errors without errbacks be tested with trial?
I have some Twisted code which creates multiple chains of Deferreds. Some of these may fail without having an errback which puts them back on the callback chain. I haven't been able to write a unit test for this code - the failing Deferred causes the test to fail after the test code has completed. How can I write a passing unit test f...
