* Package name : python-nose-random Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Felix Zumstein * URL : https://github.com/ZoomerAnalytics/nose-random * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : nose plugin to facilitate randomized unit testing with Python Python nose-random is designed to facilitate Monte-Carlo style unit testing. The idea is to improve testing by running your code against a large number of randomly generated input scenarios. . Even with random testing it's important that test success/failure is reproducible, otherwise it's hard to . * know if you've fixed a failing test * know if an test fails only on some machines or configurations and not others * debug a failing test . nose-random avoids this pitfall because it . * uses a fixed seed so that each test run is identical * tells you which scenario caused a test to fail * lets you to run the test only on a specific scenario to facilitate debugging Remark: This package is needed to run the build time tests of python-jsondiff (#888012) which in turn is needed to package python-moto (#777089) which in turn is needed to upgrade pandas to its latest version. It will be maintained by the Debian Science team at https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/python-nose-random.git Co-maintainers are more than welcome.
