Welcome to oct’s documentation!¶
Oct stand for Open Charge Tester, the goal of this project is to give you the basics tools for write simple tests. The tests are simple python scripts that make calls to web page or web service, submit data, login, etc... OCT will give you basics tools for easily writing your test.
This documentation will provide you basics examples for writing tests, use oct-tools, lunch tests, get results or even customize the results to fit your needs
Note that the OCT project is in early development and is not suitable for productions tests actually.
If you want to contribute you’re welcome ! Check the git, fork the project, and submit your pull requests !
The OCT module steel need many features at this point, here somme examples :
- Full python3 support
- New lib for replace Mechanize (based on html5lib ?)
- Full celery integration for multi-processing
- More generic tests in core module
- More fancy templates
- etc...
Basics module information¶
OCT is based on multi-mechanize, a library for testing website. But this module is no longer under active development and the last commit was 3 years ago.
So instead of a fork, for building OCT module we include multi-mechanize as a module, and we update it. For the moment modifications are minors and the main job of OCT module is inside the core submodules, which contains a GenericTransaction class
which provide you useful methods for writing your tests scripts.
We already have done some update on the multi-mechanize modules like :
- update render of graphics
- update command for new projects
- more information in config file
- customisable templates
But other improvements are on the way ! So stay tune on github !
How to¶
For each functionality, we have tried to write a how to. In that way you should be able to do everything you need with this library, even customize it and add features to it !
See the examples project page
Installation¶
You can install the module with :
python setup.py install
Or using pip :
pip install oct
NB : You may encounter build error with pip or easy_install, you
