--- prelude: > The `testing.DocumentStoreBaseTests` has been heavily overhauled. It has been split into multiple classes so developers can gradually test their Document Store as they're implemented. `DocumentStoreBaseTests` now inherits from this classes: - `CountDocumentsTest`, to test `DocumentStore.count_documents()` - `WriteDocumentsTest`, to test `DocumentStore.write_documents()` - `DeleteDocumentsTest`, to test `DocumentStore.delete_documents()` - `FilterDocumentsTest`, to test `DocumentStore.filter_documents()` To use each class it's enough to inherit from it and define the `document_store` fixture to return an instance of the Document Store we're implementing. ```python class MyDocumentStoreCountDocumentTest(CountDocumentsTest): @pytest.fixture def document_store(self): return MyDocumentStore() ``` There's also another class that tests `DocumentStore.filter_documents()` using legacy filters. This is not inherited by `DocumentStoreBaseTests` but can be added as a base class to verify the support of legacy filters. - `LegacyFilterDocumentsTest` preview: - | Rework the `testing.DocumentStoreBaseTests` class to ease Document Stores development and testing
