Testing, TDD in Python
Srimathi H (~srimathi) |
Description:
In this workshop, we will cover the importance of tests, introduce the paradigm of test driven development (TDD) and do a hands session of writing unit tests using pytest framework. The pytest framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries. At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to start writing unit tests and understand the various nuances of testing, mocks, testing asynchronous functions etc.
We will cover in details how to mock and test: - Functions - Classes - Class members - Object members - Coroutines - External endpoints - DB connections - Exceptions - Async functions
We will try to answer the imperative question - Does TDD double the work?
