Tico - Test Interaction Console

Tico is a lean command line tool + a set of commonly used testing utilities to speed up your test authoring and direction processes.

Tico is a lean command line tool + a set of commonly used testing utilities to speed up your test authoring and direction processes. This tool is inspired by the Laravel "Artisan" tool, and built with a similar architecture in mind: a core dispatcher and a variable set of action handlers (that we call "call handlers").

This tool's purpose is to

• assist the user in authoring testing tasks with dependencies
• execute testing tasks with dependencies in the correct order
• provide generic tools to write less testing code
• provide an interface to generic infrastructure, such as GitLab™ and Polarion™

This project aims to provide generic tools to author and run tests with dependencies. This includes:

• generic classes for often used data structures (e.g. tico.Grid)
• a generic superclass for test cases (e.g. tico.TestCase)
• a suggestion how to organize project tests (e.g. test/ and task/ folders)
• command line tools to interact with your test suite (e.g. tico <call> <args>)
