Assert Methods

The assert methods are part of the unittest.TestCase class and are used to check conditions in your tests. Simply put, each test method in the Test class concludes with a statement such as self.assert.

Commonly Used assert Methods

MethodCheckExample
assertEqual(a, b)a == bassertEqual(sum([1, 2, 3]), 6)
assertNotEqual(a, b)a != bassertNotEqual(1, 2)
assertTrue(x)bool(x) is TrueassertTrue(isinstance(123, int))
assertFalse(x)bool(x) is FalseassertFalse(isinstance("hello", int))
assertIs(a, b)a is ba = 1, b = a
assertIsNone(x)x is Nonebook.price = None
assertIn(a, b)a in bassertIn(2, [1, 2, 3])
assertIsInstance(a, b)isinstance(a, b)assertIsInstance(123, int)

Also, assertRaises(Error, func, *args, **kwargs) is used to test that an error is raised. For example:

This checks that converting "xyz" to integer raises ValueError.

Everything was clear?

How can we improve it?
