Let's see how we can characterize the results of a test with this example:

1. Import the relevant module:

import unittest

2. Define the outcomesTest class, which has the TestCase subclass as its argument:

class OutcomesTest(unittest.TestCase):

3. The first method we define is testPass:

    def testPass(self):
        return

4. Here is the TestFail method:

    def testFail(self):
        self.failIf(True)

5. Next, we have the TestError method:

    def testError(self):
        raise RuntimeError('test error!')

6. Finally, we have the main function, with which we recall our procedure:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()
