* Outline 
  - What software Testing is? 
  - Learn to test simple functions for their functionality.
  - Learn how to automate tests. 
  -  Need for coding style and some of the standards followed by the Python Community.
  -  Handling Errors and Exceptions.

* gcd function
  - Create gcd.py file with:
#+begin_src python
  def gcd(a, b):
        if a % b == 0: 
            return b
        return gcd(b, a%b)
#+end_src python

* Test for gcd.py
  - Edit gcd.py file
#+begin_src python 
  def gcd(a, b):
      if b == 0:
          return a
      return gcd(b, a%b)
  
  if __name__=='__main__':
      result = gcd(48, 64)
      if result != 16:
          print "Test failed"
      print "Test Passed"

#+end_src

* Automating tests
#+begin_src python
    if __name=__='__main__':
    for line in open('numbers.txt'):
        numbers = line.split()
        x = int(numbers[0])
        y = int(numbers[1])
        result = int(numbers[2])
        if gcd(x, y) != result:
            print "Failed gcd test
                          for", x, y
#+end_src

* Question 1
  For the same inputs as gcd write automated tests for LCM.
* Solution 1
#+begin_src python
  def gcd(a, b):
        if a % b == 0: 
            return b
        return gcd(b, a%b)

   def lcm(a, b):
        return (a * b) / gcd(a, b)

    if __name__ == '__main__':
      for line in open('lcmtestcases.txt'):
        numbers = line.split()
        x = int(numbers[0])
        y = int(numbers[1])
        result = int(numbers[2])
       	if lcm(x, y) != result:
            print "Failed lcm test for", x, y

#+end_src

* Meaning full names
#+begin_src python   
   
   amount = 12.68
   denom = 0.05
   nCoins = round(amount / denom)
   rAmount = nCoins * denom

#+end_src

* Code style
 - Four Space Indentation
 - 79 character limit on a line
 - Funtions should be seperated by 
   blank line
 - Use Docstring
 - White space around operators 
   - l = 32 % 4

* Question 2
   - Give meaningful names to the variables in following
     code
	
     - c = a / b

* Solution 2
#+begin_src python

  quotient = dividend / divisor

#+end_src

* Code Snippet
#+begin_src python
   
  while True print 'Hello world'

#+end_src

* Error
#+begin_latex
\begin{lstlisting}
 while True print 'Hello world'
 \end{lstlisting}
  \begin{lstlisting}
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    while True print 'Hello world'
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
\end{lstlisting}
#+end_latex

* Code Snippet
#+begin_src python
  a = raw_input("Enter a number")
  try:
	num = int(a)
   except:
	print "Wrong input ..."

#+end_src

* Using idb
#+begin_latex
\small
\begin{lstlisting}
In []: import mymodule
In []: mymodule.test()
---------------------------------------------
NameError   Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython console> in <module>()
mymodule.py in test()
      1 def test():
      2     total=1+1
----> 3     print spam
NameError: global name 'spam' is not defined

In []: %debug
> mymodule.py(2)test()
      0     print spam
ipdb> total
2
\end{lstlisting}

#+end_latex



* Summary
 - Create simple tests for a function.
 - Learn to Automate tests using many predefined test cases.
 - Good coding standards.
 - Difference between syntax error and exception.
 - Handling exception using try and except.
 - Using %debug for debugging on ipython.

* Thank you!
