[docs]class TestBase(unittest.TestCase): """Extends ``testtools.TestCase`` to support WSGI integration testing. ``TestBase`` provides a base class that provides some extra plumbing to help simulate WSGI calls without having to actually host your API in a server. Note: If ``testtools`` is not available, ``unittest`` is used instead. Attributes: api (falcon.API): An API instance to target when simulating requests. Defaults to ``falcon.API()``. srmock (falcon.testing.StartResponseMock): Provides a callable that simulates the behavior of the `start_response` argument that the server would normally pass into the WSGI app. The mock object captures various information from the app's response to the simulated request. test_route (str): A simple, generated path that a test can use to add a route to the API.
