Package: python-nose-random (1.0.0-1)

nose plugin to facilitate randomized unit testing with Python 2

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

This package provides the Python 2 version of the module.
