Course Objectives

This skills-focused course is approximately 50% hands-on, combining expert lecture, real-world demonstrations and group discussions with machine-based practical labs and exercises.  Working within in a hands-on learning environment students will learn to:

• Become proficient with pytest from day one by solving real-world testing problems
• Use pytest to write tests more efficiently
• Scale from simple to complex and functional testing
• Write and run simple and complex tests
• Organize tests in fles and directories
• Find out how to be more productive on the command line
• Markers and how to skip, xfail and parametrize tests
• Explore fxtures and techniques to use them effectively, such as tmpdir, pytestconfg, and monkeypatch
• Convert unittest suites to pytest using little-known techniques
