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

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

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.

Veel mensen schrijven code. Sommigen krijgen het werkend en winstgevend. Maar zelfs de slimste programmeurs maken weleens een fout die miljoenen kan kosten. Hoe verklein je de kans op zo’n fiasco? Hoe zorg je dat je een programma maakt dat precies doet wat jij wilt? Het eenvoudige antwoord is: schrijf tests!

Tijdens deze reis leer je de basis van tests schrijven in Python. Je maakt kennis met vier typen softwaretestmethoden. Je schrijft je eigen tests om te controleren of een programma of datapijplijn werkt zoals verwacht voordat het naar productie gaat. Of het nu gaat om een onverwachte null, een typefout in je gegevensset of verwisselde tekens in een formule: met tests kun je die gevallen vinden en voorkomen.

Na afloop van de cursus ken je de verschillende testmethoden en kun je de meest geschikte kiezen voor een specifieke context. Je kunt deze tests ook ontwerpen en in Python implementeren met de libraries pytest en unittest.
