Pynguin is a command-line tool that automatically generates unit tests for Python programs using search-based and random testing techniques. It is a research prototype developed at the University of Passau, extensible for implementing new test-generation approaches.
Use cases
- automatically generate unit tests for my python module
- generate pytest test cases without writing them manually
- search-based unit test generation for python code
- improve test coverage on an untested python library
- research tool for automated software testing experiments
- bootstrap a test suite for a legacy python project
When to choose
- you need automated unit test generation for Python code
- you are conducting research on search-based software testing
- you want to quickly bootstrap tests for untested Python modules in an isolated environment
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, polished testing tool
- running untrusted code on your machine is unacceptable without sandboxing
- you need test generation for statically typed languages like Java
