Avocado Testing Framework

About

Avocado is a framework with a set of tools and libraries to help with automated testing. Native tests are written in Python and they follow the unittest pattern, but any executable can serve as a test.

Whether you want to automate the test plan made by your development team, do continuous integration, or develop quick tests for the feature you’re working on, Avocado delivers the tools to help you out.

Please, read our quick guide to get an idea of what avocado can do. If you want to go further, check out our installation instructions and take a look at the full documentation at readthedocs!
