Test-Driven Python Development

Overview of this book

This book starts with a look at the test-driven development process, and how it is different from the traditional way of writing code. All the concepts are presented in the context of a real application that is developed in a step-by-step manner over the course of the book. While exploring the common types of smelly code, we will go back into our example project and clean up the smells that we find. Additionally, we will use mocking to implement the parts of our example project that depend on other systems. Towards the end of the book, we'll take a look at the most common patterns and anti-patterns associated with test-driven development, including integration of test results into the development process.

Identifying code smells


The following is an implementation that passes the tests (for a listing of the test cases, download the code for this chapter from https://github.com/siddhi/test_driven_python). The implementation uses the timedelta class from the datetime module, so you'll have to import it at the top of the file to get it to work.

    def get_crossover_signal(self, on_date):
        cpl = []
        for i in range(11):
            chk = on_date.date() - timedelta(i)
            for price_event in reversed(self.price_history):
                if price_event.timestamp.date() > chk:
                    pass
                if price_event.timestamp.date() == chk:
                    cpl.insert(0, price_event)
                    break
                if price_event.timestamp.date() < chk:
                    cpl.insert(0, price_event)
                    break

        # Return NEUTRAL signal
        if len(cpl) < 11:
            return 0

        # BUY signal
        if sum...
