Testing

Note

The testing framework is still under development. The following sub-section highlight the main approaches to testing the Equinox platform.

Django Test Framework

Back-end aspects of the equinox platform are primarily tested using pytest.

python manage.py test tests

Behavior Driven Development

Front-end aspects of the equinox platform are primarily tested using behave and selenium

python manage.py behave

Testing Use Cases

The Equinox User Manual has a number of concrete Use Cases that demonstrate the use of the platform in various sustainable portfolio management scenarios.

From a technical perspective, loading the required datasets into a fresh Equinox installation performs a basic sanity test for all the corresponding data models. Each use case can be loaded individually:

bash loadfixtures-usecase-1.sh
bash loadfixtures-usecase-2.sh
bash loadfixtures-usecase-x.sh

The correspondence of usecase tests with workflows is as follows:

Use cases and associated workflows

Usecase	Application	Workflow	Remarkt
0	Start (Front End)	N/A	Tests generic setup without user data
1	All	URL	N/A
2	All	URL	N/A
3	All	URL	N/A
4	All	URL	N/A
5	Portfolio	EP Workflows	Equator Principles
