Writing test cases

Now let's expand the test_populate_tasks() method seen in our initial skeleton. The simplest tests we can write, run some code from the tested object, query for a result to verify, and then use an assert to compare with an expected result.

The test_populate_tasks() method will test the do_populate_tasks() Todo method. Since our setup made sure we have two open Todos, after running it we expect the wizard task_ids to be referencing these two records.

# class TestWizard(TransactionCase): 
    def test_populate_tasks(self):
