Unit Testing/Pytest/Test Input

Create a Python Program edit

Create the following Python program. Save it as multiply.py

def multiply(x, y):
    result = x * y
    return result


def main():
    multiplicand = float(input("Enter a multiplicand: "))
    multiplier = float(input("Enter a multiplier: "))
    product = multiply(multiplicand, multiplier)
    print(f"The product is: {product}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Create a Test Program edit

Create the following Pytest test program. Save it as test_multiply.py

import multiply

def test_input():
    input_values = [
        "2",
        "2"
    ]

    def input(prompt=None):
        return input_values.pop(0)

    multiply.input = input
    assert multiply.main() == None

Test Success edit

Test the program by running pytest in a terminal or command prompt in the same folder as the two programs above and observe the results.

pytest

Test Failure edit

Change the test source code somehow, such as replacing one of the input numeric values with characters. Test the program by running pytest again and observe the results.
