se2p/pynguin: Pynguin 0.26.0

Allow the calculation of coverage values regardless of optimisation.

Allows to yield, for example, the resulting line coverage of the test suite, while the optimisation during test generation was done for branch coverage. Add the required coverage values to your --output-variables list to activate this feature.

Note: when doing this, the Coverage output variable will contain the average value of the incorporated coverage values!

Provide a Cobertura-like coverage report

Pynguin already provides an HTML report that can be activated by setting --create-coverage-report True. This report is nice for human users but not very usable if one wants to automatically reason about the achieved coverage using tools. We thus also emit an XML report in the style of the Cobertura tool that can be used for further automated tools.

Improve mutation-based assertion generation

The assertion generation now does not more compare the recorded assertion traces but actually executes the assertions to make the whole process more reliable. Besides, we do not check for is not None as a fallback for object checks any more, but use an isinstance check on the object's type to have a more precise assertion.

Make statistics tests debuggable

Some accidental circular import made it impossible to run a debugger on tests in pynguin.utils. We resolved this by moving tests to another package.

Partial rework of internal type system

We added an abstraction layer over the existing type hints from a module to make handling and reasoning with types easier. This abstraction is based on the one used by mypy, however, we only cover a small part of what PEP-484 actually defines.
