The DTest framework is a testing framework, similar to the standard unittest package provided by Python. The value-add for DTest, however, is that test execution is threaded, through use of the eventlet package. The DTest package also provides the concept of “dependencies” between tests and test fixtures – thus the “D” in “DTest” – which ensure that tests don’t run until the matching set up test fixtures have completed, and that the tear down test fixtures don’t run until all the associated tests have completed. Dependencies may also be used to ensure that tests requiring the availability of certain functionality don’t run if the tests of that specific functionality fail.
