Using Assert Methods in Unittest: Validating Test Results

The assert methods are part of the unittest.TestCase class and are used to check conditions in your tests. Simply put, each test method in the Test class concludes with a statement such as self.assert.

Commonly Used assert Methods

Method	Check	Example
assertEqual(a, b)	a == b	assertEqual(sum([1, 2, 3]), 6)
assertNotEqual(a, b)	a != b	assertNotEqual(1, 2)
assertTrue(x)	bool(x) is True	assertTrue(isinstance(123, int))
assertFalse(x)	bool(x) is False	assertFalse(isinstance("hello", int))
assertIs(a, b)	a is b	a = 1, b = a
assertIsNone(x)	x is None	book.price = None
assertIn(a, b)	a in b	assertIn(2, [1, 2, 3])
assertIsInstance(a, b)	isinstance(a, b)	assertIsInstance(123, int)

Also, assertRaises(Error, func, *args, **kwargs) is used to test that an error is raised. For example:

with self.assertRaises(ValueError):
    int("xyz")

This checks that converting "xyz" to integer raises ValueError.
