ward

I built Ward (https://github.com/darrenburns/ward), a Python test framework. I have issues with the way the pytest fixture system works (parameter names matching function names), the readibility of the output, and some other things. It started as a little learning experiment and has turned into something I've been building into what I hope will (and already is in some aspects) be a viable contender to pytest.

I made a Python 3.6+ testing framework called Ward (https://wardpy.com/) that I hope can be a compelling alternative to pytest! Quick overview of features: * Describe your tests using strings instead of function names * Fixtures that use the Python import system instead of name matching * ~50% of the framework overhead of pytest * Highly readable, colourful output including coloured diffs * Support for parameterised testing * Configurable with pyproject.toml, but has sensible defaults * Ability to search for tests based on descriptions and test bodies * Supports Linux, MacOS, and Windows * Uses type hints! * Hypothesis works out of the box, and soon fixtures will regenerate on each example I'd love to hear any constructive feedback :) If you're interested in this project, I'd love to see more contributions from the community.
