test-aide

---

test-aide is a lightweight package containing helper functions to simplify certain aspects of unit testing. See the documentation for the full list of features.

The equality module contains helpers that simplfy asserting equality when working with pandas or numpy types, in particular when working with these types nested in other data structures e.g. a dict containing pandas.DataFrame object(s).

The functions module contains helpers that simplfy asserting that a function was called in a particular way. The functions assert_function_call and assert_function_call_count are available to be used as context managers to test a function is called in a certain way and called a specific number of times respectively.
