Run setUp only once for a set of automated tests

My Python version is 2.6.

I would like to execute the test setUp method only once since I do things there which are needed for all tests.

My idea was to create a boolean variable which will be set to 'true' after the first execution and then disable more than one call to the setup method.

class mySelTest(unittest.TestCase):     setup_done = False      def setUp(self):         print str(self.setup_done)                      if self.setup_done:             return         self.setup_done = True         print str(self.setup_done) 

The output:

False  True  --- Test 1 ---  False  True  --- Test 2 --- 

why is this not working? Did I miss anything?

Does Setup run before every test Python?

The only difference is that the setUp method is executed before the test method is executed, while the tearDown method is executed after the execution of the test method.

Is setup called for each test?

The setup method is ran before each Test Case and the teardown is ran after each Test Case. So to answer your question, if you change a variable in your Test Case it will not affect other Test Cases.

What is setup in unit testing?

A SetUp method runs before each test method within a test class so is used to set up common code required for each method - this could be providing stubs/fakes/mocks for any dependencies that the System Under Test requires, as well as perhaps instantiating an instance of the System Under Test.

How do I run an automated test in test plans?

In the Test Plans web portal, open the test plan and select a test suite that contains the automated tests. Select the test (s) you want to run, open the Run menu, and choose Run test. The test binaries for these tests must be available in the build artifacts generated by your build pipeline. Choose OK to start the testing process.

How can I add more run settings to my load test?

You can add more run settings to your load test with different property settings so that you can run the load test under different conditions. For example, you can add a new test setting and use a different sample rate, or specify a longer run duration.

How do I run an automated test in Visual Studio 2017?

Open the shortcut menu for the test suite in the left column and choose Run with options. Enter the following values in the Run with options dialog and then choose OK: Test type and runner: Select Automated tests using Release Stage. Build: Select the build that has the test binaries.

Can I use multiple run settings at the same time?

You can use only one run setting at a time and must specify which run setting to use by marking it as active. Web performance and load test functionality is deprecated. Visual Studio 2019 is the last version where web performance and load testing will be fully available.

You can use setUpClass to define methods that only run once per testsuite.
