Mission Statement To create an easily customizable and extensible open source tool that will automatically, or semi-automatically, generate unit tests for legacy systems written in Python.

Example

class OldPython(object):
    def __init__(self, age):
        self.age = age
 
    def hiss(self):
        return "sss... *cough* *cough*"

import unittest
 
class TestOldPython(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_object_initialization(self):
        assert False # TODO: implement your test here
 
    def test_hiss(self):
        assert False # TODO: implement your test here
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()
