Re: unit tests vs... the current test_suite -- October 30, 2006 - 18:16

Just as a not io have (just) started to write unit tests for the 
float.py  module:

test_float.py:

#!/usr/bin/python

import unittest
from float  import *
FLOAT_EPSILON=float(4.94065645841247e-324) # replace a a later date

class testfloat(unittest.TestCase):
   def testGetFloatClass(self):
       tests = ( CLASS_POS_INF, pos_inf,
                 CLASS_NEG_INF, neg_inf,
                 CLASS_POS_NORMAL, float(1e6),
                 CLASS_NEG_NORMAL, -float(1e6),
                 CLASS_POS_DENORMAL,  FLOAT_EPSILON,
                 CLASS_NEG_DENORMAL,  -FLOAT_EPSILON,
                 CLASS_QUIET_NAN,     nan,
                 # WE DON'T USE SIGNAL NANS CLASS_SIGNAL_NAN,
                 CLASS_POS_ZERO,    float(0),
                 CLASS_NEG_ZERO,    -float(0))
       for (fpClass, value) in tests:
           self.assertEqual(fpClass, getFloatClass(value))
      
  
if __name__ == '__main__':
   unittest.main()

It doesn't work yet but is a start. Should I alter the relax test suite 
to run it as one of the tests... (I would add a directory seracher... 
that would create hierachies of test suites...)
