Here are several reasons:
- random seeds are always the same
That can easily be fixed by explicitly changing the random seed in the
doctest (probably some helper context should be provided for this)
- impossible to have complicated test code
First of all, doctests can contain arbitrary code, so it can be as
complicated as you want.
Second, you could write a dedicated test function like
def complicated_test_function(many, arguments, here):
"""
TESTS:
sage: complicated_test_function(1, 2, 3)
"""
This is like a unit test without requiring a new testing framework.
- impossible to tune the tests to make it more intensive (let say I
want to run the tests for 1000 inputs rather than 10)
You can run many iterations of the doctests.
- TESTS part are often unreadable
If the test code is complicated, using a different test framework will
not help. You would just be running the same unreadable code in a
different way.
- `TestSuite(my_object).run()` is not illustrative
I don't understand what you mean with this.
