Django TestCase testing order

Question

If there are several methods in the test class, I found that the order to execute is alphabetical. But I want to customize the order of execution. How to define the execution order?

For example: testTestA will be loaded first than testTestB.

class Test(TestCase):     def setUp(self):         ...      def testTestB(self):         #test code      def testTestA(self):         #test code 

Answer 1

A tenet of unit-testing is that each test should be independent of all others. If in your case the code in testTestA must come before testTestB, then you could combine both into one test:

def testTestA_and_TestB(self):     # test code from testTestA     ...     # test code from testTestB 

or, perhaps better would be

def TestA(self):     # test code def TestB(self):     # test code def test_A_then_B(self):     self.TestA()     self.TestB() 

The Test class only tests those methods who name begins with a lower-case test.... So you can put in extra helper methods TestA and TestB which won't get run unless you explicitly call them.
