Code introduction


The code defines a function called generate_random_test_case, which randomly selects a test function from the unittest library and returns a custom test function. The custom test function accepts two arguments and performs a test using the randomly selected test function.


Technology Stack : The code uses the unittest library and technology stack. It defines a function called generate_random_test_case that randomly selects a test function from the unittest library and returns a custom test function. The custom test function accepts two arguments and performs a test using the randomly selected test function.

    # Randomly select a function from the list
    selected_function = random.choice(functions)
    
    # Construct the test case function
    def test_random_function(arg1, arg2):
        # Using the selected function to perform the test
        selected_function(arg1, arg2)
    
    return test_random_function

# Example usage
test_function = generate_random_test_case()
test_function(5, 5)  # This will not raise an error as 5 is equal to 5
test_function(5, 10)  # This will raise an error as 5 is not equal to 10
