==========================================================
Since version 1.0 py.test features the "funcarg" mechanism which
allows a test function to take arguments which will be independently
provided by factory functions. Factory functions are automatically
discovered and allow to encapsulate all neccessary setup and glue code
for running tests. Compared to `xUnit style`_ the new mechanism is
meant to:
allows a test function to take arguments independently provided
by factory functions. Factory functions allow to encapsulate
all setup and fixture glue code into nicely separated objects
and provide a natural way for writing python test functions.
Compared to `xUnit style`_ the new mechanism is meant to:
* make test functions easier to write and to read
* isolate test fixture creation to a single place
* bring new flexibility and power to test state management
* enable running of a test function with different values
* naturally extend towards parametrizing test functions
with multiple argument sets
(superseding `old-style generative tests`_)
* to enable creation of helper objects that interact with the execution
of a test function, see the `blog post about the monkeypatch funcarg`_.
* enable creation of zero-boilerplate test helper objects that
interact with the execution of a test function, see the
`blog post about the monkeypatch funcarg`_.
If you find issues or have further suggestions for improving
the mechanism you are welcome to checkout `contact possibilities`_ page.
