Concepts

Test Fixture

A test fixture represents the code needed to prepare the context for running one or more tests (create temporary databases, directories, etc.), and any associated cleanup actions.

Test Case

A test case is the individual unit of testing. In unittest, the test cases inherit from the base class TestCase.

Test Suite

A collection of test cases, test suites or both.

Test Runner

The test runner is the component that orchestrates the execution of tests and provides the outcomes to the user.
