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

Conditional skipping

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

Chain this out

List with a custom length

Fixtures autouse

autouse statements

Auto add numbers

Fixtures Teardowns

Data with teardown

Read data with teardown

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.

Factorial of number

import pytest

def factorial(n):
    if n == 0: return 1
    elif (type(n) == int):
        return n * factorial(n-1)
    else: return -1

# Test case: expected input
def test_regular():
    assert factorial(5) == 120

# Test case: zero input
def test_zero():
    assert factorial(0) == 1

# Test case: input of a wrong type
def test_str():
    assert factorial('5') == -1


Run factorial

Plenty of people write code. Some of them make it work and profitable. But sometimes, even the smartest of the best programmers makes a mistake that can cost millions of dollars. How to decrease the possibility of getting into such a fiasco? How do you ensure that you create a program that does exactly what you want? The very simple answer is: write tests!

During this journey, you will learn the very basics of creating tests in Python. You will meet four types of software testing methods. You will create your own tests to check if the program or a data pipeline works as expected before it goes to production. Whether it is the unexpected null, a typo in your dataset, or mixed-up signs in the equation. You can, and you will catch those cases with the tests.

After the course completion, you will know the types of testing methods, and you will be able to choose the most suitable ones for a specific context. You also will be able to design those tests and implement them in Python using the pytest and the unittest libraries.

Unit test is a type of test that verifies a software unit.

A test case is a set of unit inputs and expected outputs summarizing a particular problem.

Unit test is a type of test that verifies software as a whole.
