Learn what a test is and how to run the first one of your own with the pytest library! You will get used to the pytest testing framework and the command-line interface. You will also learn how to process specific contexts, like "failed tests" and "skipping the test" with pytest markers.

Introduction to Testing in Python

The first test suite

pytest.raises

Invoking pytest from CLI

Run the test!

Run with the keyword

Applying test markers

Markers use cases

Failed tests with xfail

Creating Tests with pytest

Learn what a fixture is and how to simplify your code by using it in tests. You will get familiar with the fixture @pytest.fixture decorator and the fixture tools. You will analyze your code to see the "fixture part" in it. Finally, learn how to use teardowns to prevent software failures.

Introduction to fixtures

Getting familiar with fixtures

Data preparation

Run with a fixture

Chain Fixtures Requests

List with a custom length

Fixtures autouse

autouse statements

Auto add numbers

Pytest Fixtures

Learn what the basic testing types are and their features. Learn about test cases and how they help to implement tests. You will get more skilled with creating test functions and running pytest from CLI in IDE exercises. Finally, you will be able to differentiate the different testing types and create tests for each of them.

Molte persone scrivono codice. Alcune riescono a farlo funzionare e a renderlo redditizio. Ma a volte, anche il programmatore più brillante commette un errore che può costare milioni di dollari. Come ridurre la possibilità di finire in un simile fiasco? Come assicurarti di creare un programma che faccia esattamente ciò che vuoi? La risposta è semplice: scrivi dei test!

In questo percorso imparerai le basi della creazione di test in Python. Vedrai quattro tipi di metodi di testing del software. Scriverai test tuoi per verificare che un programma o una pipeline di dati funzioni come previsto prima di andare in produzione. Che si tratti di un valore null inaspettato, di un refuso nel tuo insieme di dati o di segni scambiati in un’equazione, con i test puoi — e riuscirai a — intercettare questi casi.

Al termine del corso, conoscerai i diversi tipi di metodi di testing e saprai scegliere quelli più adatti al contesto. Sarai anche in grado di progettare questi test e implementarli in Python usando le librerie pytest e unittest.
