Pytest

Pytest is a Python testing framework that originated from the PyPy project. It can be used to write various types of software tests, including unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, and functional tests. Its features include parametrized testing, fixtures, and assert re-writing.

With qase-pytest you can publish the results of your automated test runs to your Qase project using the public API.

Installation

To integrate Qase into your Pytest project, follow these steps:

Activate the Pytest App

To activate the app, go to the Apps section in your workspace, and click on ‘Activate’

Switch to the ‘Access tokens’ tab, and create a new API token from here. Save the API token as we’ll need it for the next steps.

Add qase-pytest to your project

To install the reporter, run the following command in a virtual environment:

pip install qase-pytest

Add a configuration file for the reporter

At the very least, the reporter will need two variables defined - your Pytest App’s Token, and the Qase Project you want to publish the results to.

Please ensure that this file is placed in the root of your project.

qase.config.json:

{
  "testops": {
    "api": {
      "token": "<token>"
    },
    "project": "<project_code>"
  }
}

Please refer to this article for guidance on how to find your Project code in Qase.

Let's verify the integration

We’ll use a simple test to check if the results are being published to your Qase project. Create a tests/ directory in the root of your project and add the following test:

test_example.py:

def test_addition():
    assert 1 + 1 == 2

Now, let’s run the test by executing the following command:

QASE_MODE=testops pytest tests/test_example.py

In the above command, we’re setting the reporter’s mode to testops using the Environment variable QASE_MODE. You can learn more about other reporter modes here.
