Acknowledgements

• TestTools leverages several excellent Julia packages to support its core capabilities.

  • Coverage

  • CoverageTools

  • JuliaFormatter

• TestTools borrows ideas (and some code) from the following great Julia packages.

  • TestSetExtensions

    • The base code for EnhancedTestSet (which implements diffs for comparisons and progress dots) comes directly from TestsetExtensions.ExtendedTestSet.

    • The run_tests() and find_tests() methods are essentially a re-implementation and refactoring of the TestsetExtensions.@includetests macro as methods.

  • SafeTestsets

    • The strategy for isolating tests came from the SafeTestsets.@safetestset macro.

  • jlpkg

    • The strategy for installing CLI executables came from jlpkg.install().

• TestTools was inspired by analogous code testing packages in the Python ecosystem:

  • pytest

  • coverage

  • pycodestyle
