Calico

Calico is a utility for checking command-line programs in terms of their input and output. It checks whether a program generates the correct output when given some inputs. It was developed to evaluate simple programming assignments in an introductory programming course.

Getting started

You can install Calico using pip:

pip install calico

Calico uses pexpect for interacting with the program it is checking. The file that specifies the inputs and outputs for the checks is in YAML format.
