How to test QIIME 2 plugins

This document is a placeholder at the moment.

Briefly, QIIME 2 provides a test harness to simplify a few of the more repetitive parts of testing. This is the TestPluginBase class (qiime2.plugin.testing.TestPluginBase).

Examples

Pending full documentation, here are some references where you can see how aspects of QIIME 2 plugins can be tested:

• Formats

• Semantic Types

• Transformers

• Plugin registration - note that testing of plugin registration doesn’t require the use of the TestPluginBase class.

You can see an example of all of these in one place in the q2-sapienns test suite. You can learn about the q2-sapienns plugin here.
