15.2. 应对需求变化

尽管你竭尽努力地分析你的客户，并点灯熬油地提炼出精确的需求，但需求还是会是不断变化。大部分客户在看到产品前不知道他们想要什么。即便知道，也不擅于精确表述出他们的有效需求。即便能表述出来，他们在下一个版本一定会要求更多的功能。因此你需要做好更新测试用例的准备以应对需求的改变。

假设你想要扩展罗马数字转换函数的范围。还记得没有哪个字符可以重复三遍以上这条规则吗？呃，现在罗马人希望给这条规则来个例外，用连续出现 4 个 M 字符来表示 4000。如果这样改了，你就可以把转换范围从 1..3999 扩展到 1..4999。但你先要对测试用例进行修改。

	原来的已知值没有改变（它们仍然是合理的测试值）但你需要添加几个大于 `4000` 的值。这里我添加了 `4000` （最短的一个）， `4500` （次短的一个）， `4888` （最长的一个）和 `4999` （值最大的一个）。
	“最大输入”的定义改变了。以前是以 `4000` 调用 `toRoman` 并期待一个错误；而现在 `4000-4999` 成为了有效输入，需要将这个最大输入提升至 `5000`。
	“过多字符重复” 的定义也改变了。这个测试以前是以 `'MMMM'` 调用 `fromRoman` 并期待一个错误；而现在 `MMMM` 被认为是一个有效的罗马数字表示，需要将这个“过多字符重复”改为 `'MMMMM'`。
	完备测试和大小写测试原来在 `1` 到 `3999` 范围内循环。现在范围扩展了，这个 `for` 循环需要将范围也提升至 `4999`。

现在你的测试用例和新需求保持一致了，但是你的程序代码还没有，因此几个测试用例的失败是意料之中的事。

例 15.7. 用 `romantest71.py` 测试 `roman71.py` 的结果


fromRoman should only accept uppercase input ... ERROR        
toRoman should always return uppercase ... ERROR
fromRoman should fail with blank string ... ok
fromRoman should fail with malformed antecedents ... ok
fromRoman should fail with repeated pairs of numerals ... ok
fromRoman should fail with too many repeated numerals ... ok
fromRoman should give known result with known input ... ERROR 
toRoman should give known result with known input ... ERROR   
fromRoman(toRoman(n))==n for all n ... ERROR                  
toRoman should fail with non-integer input ... ok
toRoman should fail with negative input ... ok
toRoman should fail with large input ... ok
toRoman should fail with 0 input ... ok

	我们的大小写检查是因为循环范围是 `1` 到 `4999`，而 `toRoman` 只接受 `1` 到 `3999` 之间的数，因此测试循环到 `4000` 就会失败。
	`fromRoman` 的已知值测试在遇到 `'MMMM'` 就会失败，因为 `fromRoman` 还认为这是一个无效的罗马数字表示。
	`toRoman` 的已知值测试在遇到 `4000` 就会失败，因为 `toRoman` 仍旧认为这超出了有效值范围。
	完备测试在遇到 `4000` 也会失败，因为 `toRoman` 也会认为这超出了有效值范围。

既然新的需求导致了测试用例的失败，你该考虑修改代码以便它能再次通过测试用例。（在你开始编写单元测试时要习惯一件事：被测试代码永远不会在编写测试用例“之前”编写。正因为如此，你还有一些工作要做，一旦可以通过所有的测试用例，停止编码。）

toRoman 只需要在取值范围检查一处做个小改动。将原来的 0 < n < 4000，更改为现在的检查 0 < n < 5000。你还要更改你 raise 的错误信息以反映接受新取值范围（1..4999 而不再是 1..3999）。你不需要改变函数的其他部分，它们已经适用于新的情况。（它们会欣然地为新的 1000 添加 'M'，以 4000 为例，他们会返回 'MMMM' ）之前没能这样做是因为到范围检查时就被停了下来。）

你对 fromRoman 也不需要做过多的修改。唯一的修改就在 romanNumeralPattern：如果你注意的话，你会发现你只需在正则表达式的第一部分增加一个可选的 M 。这就允许最多 4 个 M 字符而不再是 3 个，意味着你允许的代表 4999 而不是 3999 的罗马数字。 fromRoman 函数本身是普遍适用的，它并不在意字符被多少次的重复，只是根据重复的罗马字符对应的数值进行累加。以前没能处理 'MMMM' 是因为你通过正则表达式的检查强行停止了。

你可能会怀疑只需这两处小改动。嘿，不相信我的话，你自己看看吧：
