Greetings, fellow Pythonistas!
I'm about to create three modules. As an avid TDD fan I'd like to create typical 'use-cases' for each of these modules. One of them is rather large, and I wondered if it would be easy enough to create a code skeleton out of unit test module.
I think this is too difficult, because there are many ways to write code (even skeletons) for a use case. An easier approach would be to write the skeleton manually, embed the test cases in the doc strings and generate the test code from the doc strings. If I remember correctly IBM has published something to generate unit tests from code. Python has a doctest module to support testing derived from doc strings. This can be combined with unit tests.
> The problem can be solved more easily if you design the module
skeleton first, then the tests and then the logic for the skeleton - you would be creating tests before the code, but many people
> wouldn't regard it as TDD then.
You shouldn't care if your approach works for you.
