Re: [Tutor] unittest.makeSuite question

[Kent Johnson]

makeSuite() creates a TestSuite object that consolidates all the test methods of the class named by 
the first argument. Test methods are identified by having names starting with the second argument. 
'test' is the default value so you could omit it; in fact the most recent documentation does omit 
this argument. If you wanted to name your test methods something different you could use this 
argument to change it.

The basic pattern shown in the first page of the tutorial will work for most unit testing. It also 
shows a use of makeSuite(), but you can easily get by without using makeSuite().
http://docs.python.org/lib/node160.html

The page on "Organizing Test Code" is, IMO, more confusing than helpful. It shows some of the 
building blocks of tests and some ways of using unittest that I have never seen in practice.

Hi,
I've been through the unittest tutorial page and I've seen this function:
suite = unittest.makeSuite(Testname,'test')
In the python 2.4 Python Library Reference I have find no reference to
such a fucntion (there is an example, exactly the same but without the
'test' parameter).
I could not really understand the sources neither...
What is the 'test' parameter? Is there another possible values? Any
reference of the function?
Thanks!
