Python Test Loader using Nose

Question

I am a beginner at Python and the Nose framework. What I need to do is to write a Test Loader that will load tests using Nose.The results of the test has to be generated as a HTML report. Can someone give me a description about how to do this. I want to know what are the python test case files to write, what are the libraries to include. Please give me a start on this.

Thanks

I believe that the capability that you describe already exists in Nose.

• Nose discovers and loads tests.
• Nose can print output in a variety of formats, including XML (with a plug-in).

If you install Nose and the NoseXML or NoseXMLUnit plugin, I believe that you should have what you need. If you truly need HTML instead of XML, use one of those plugins as a base to write your own. (And make sure to add it to the list of third-party plugins ).
