Testing Suites

A development platform is only as good as the testing environment. As any project grows, a proper framework for implementing tests can provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation.

Course Content

In this course, we will give an introduction to testing in Python. We will show how simple functionality can be integrated into the documentation through doctest, and how to scale the functionality.

Prerequisite

This course requires some familiarity with the Python programming language, introduced here.

Duration: 1 Hour

Tools Introduced

Pytest

Pytest is a testing framework aimed at making a minimal formulation, but yet scales well into complex functional testing for applications and libraries. It integrates well with most other testing frameworks available in Python, like Doctest, Nose and Unittest.
