GS Quant uses pytest to run unit tests across all packages. We track coverage across the project using pytest-cov to manage the health of the project. Some general guidelines for testing in GS Quant:
- Organization tests live in the /test folder, where they follow the package structure of GS Quant. Please add a new folder to the tests folder if you are adding a new package to GS Quant
- Unit Tests unit tests for Python modules should be runnable by any developer, without needing an API key. Mock API responses to ensure other developers can run all relevant tests
- Mocking our tests use [pytest-mock] in order to simulate valid responses
- Coverage: certain packages have 100% test coverage enforced, for example the Timeseries Package. If submitting a pull request, please follow coverage guidelines
Writing Tests
To create a new test, add your file to the relevant folder in /tests. A simple test function will
look something like this:
import pytest
from pandas.util.testing import assert_series_equal
from gs_quant.timeseries import *
def test_returns():
dates = [
date(2019, 1, 1),
date(2019, 1, 2),
date(2019, 1, 3),
date(2019, 1, 4),
date(2019, 1, 5),
date(2019, 1, 6),
]
x = pd.Series([])
assert_series_equal(x, returns(x))
x = pd.Series([100.0, 101, 103.02, 100.9596, 100.9596, 102.978792], index=dates)Running Tests
Tests are located in gs_quant/test. To run tests you will need to configure pytest and then run as
follows:
gs_quant>pytest gs_quant/testTo run tests on a specific folder, simply specify the folder name as follows:
gs_quant>pytest gs_quant/test/timeseries/You can also run tests on a specific file:
gs_quant>pytest gs_quant/test/timeseries/test_algebra.pyOutput will look something like this:
======================================= test session starts =======================================

We use pytest-cov to evaluate test coverage. In
order to view test coverage, please use the --cov option:
gs_quant>pytest --cov=gs_quant --cov-report gs_quant/test/timeseries/test_algebra.pyIf you want to know which statements are missing tests, use the following option:
gs_quant>pytest --cov=gs_quant --cov-report term-missing gs_quant/testHappy testing!
