Method Details

getTestCaseNames(self, testCaseClass)

Return a sorted sequence of method names found within testCaseClass

loadTestsFromModule(self, module)

Return a suite of all tests cases contained in the given module

loadTestsFromName(self, name, module=None)

Return a suite of all tests cases given a string specifier.

The name may resolve either to a module, a test case class, a test method within a test case class, or a callable object which returns a TestCase or TestSuite instance.

The method optionally resolves the names relative to a given module.

loadTestsFromNames(self, names, module=None)

Return a suite of all tests cases found using the given sequence of string specifiers. See 'loadTestsFromName()'.

loadTestsFromTestCase(self, testCaseClass)

Return a suite of all tests cases contained in testCaseClass

testMethodPrefix

Type:: str
Value:: 'test'
