<div>Hi Openstack-developers,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am Abhijeet Jain. One of the contributor in OpenStack.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was just working on optimizing the codes in Neutron , Keystone, Cinder modules.</div>
<div>Then, I came across with a very common scenario that I can see at many places.</div>
<div>at many places, I saw that the users have written the code in such form :</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>assertEqual(user1['id'], user2['id']);</div>
<div><span style="font-size:10pt">assertEqual(user1['name'], user2['name']);</span></div>
<div>assertEqual(user1['status'], user2['status']);</div>
<div>assertEqual(user1['xyz'], user2['xyz']);</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To optimize such redundancy, I created a help function like below :</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>def _check(self, expected, actual, keys):</div>
<div> for key in keys:</div>
<div> assertEqual( expected[key], actual[key])</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, everywhere we just need to call this function like this :</div>
<div>_check(user1, user2, ['id', 'name', 'status', 'xyz'])</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, this way lots of code can be reduced.</div>
<div>but, currently i need to put that function in every test file , I want to use. There is no global space.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My proposal is :</div>
<div>How about putting this function in some utils like place, which can be accessed in every test function.</div>
<div>but for that, I need your approval.</div>
<div>Kindly, provide your valuable feedback on this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Abhijeet Jain</div>
