This course teaches you to effectively use Python's most popular and powerful test framework, pytest. pytest is partly so widely used because it's so fast to get started. However, many people stop with the basics and never learn pytest's true power.

In Getting started with pytest, you'll do so much more than just get started. You'll learn the five super powers of pytest: simple test functions, fixtures, parametrization, markers, and plugins. With this knowledge, you'll be able to test more effectively and efficiently, whenever you need to write software tests.

What will you learn?

In this course, you will:

    Build clean, readable, well structured test functions
    Utilize fixtures to hold setup, teardown, and test data
    Share fixtures between tests and between test files
    Trace test execution through tests and fixtures to help debug tests
    Use test parametrization to create reams of test cases with a small number of test functions
    Identify test parametrizations cleanly with test ids
    Learn to skip tests with markers
    Run subsets of tests using keywords, markers, test classes, and combinations of these techniques
    Expand pytest functionality with pytest plugins
    And lots more

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone who needs to test Python code, or anything reachable via Python code. Yep, pytest is being used to test APIs, web services, embedded systems, hardware, and of course Python packages, applications, and utilities.

Since many people are writing test code alongside their other work, the techniques presented in this course are focused on those that help you be efficient and effective with pytest.

Of course you can use these techniques if you are spending most of your time writing tests.

This course will be useful for software engineers of all flavors, including test engineers.

As for prerequisites, we assume:

    No software testing experience required
    Familiarity with Python would be helpful
