Course Overview
Apply the practices of Test-Driven Development using the PyTest framework to easily create your unit tests
Do you want to be one of the core developers at your company—the person that everyone wants on their team, and who can deliver new features that work on time? Unit Testing and Test-Driven Development (TDD) are key disciplines that can help you achieve that goal.
In this video tutorial, you’ll learn about the PyTest testing library and how it’s used to write unit tests in Python. You’ll also set up some common Python development environments to use PyTest. You’ll create isolated test environments with Test Doubles and learn how to implement and use them with unittest.mock. Moving on, you’ll get to know some of the best practices in Unit Testing and TDD and get some hands-on experience with programming by implementing unit tests using TDD in Python.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to apply the practices of Unit Testing and TDD on a daily basis to radically increase the quality of your code and help you and your company achieve your goals faster than ever before.

Lots of information and great examples! Would have been nice to see how to run with certain configurations not through IDE setup, but can check that out in the different tools' documentation. Overall, great course! Would be curious to see the more advanced examples. Would buy another course from this provider.

The course is very condensed. With that said it can be difficult to follow. You will need to look a few of the pytest concepts up in the documentation.

The first part of course was conducted very well but at the introduction of the Mock objects the examples were rushed through without a sufficient explanation what was being done.

Me ensinou como é simples usar o pytest; Como ir criando testes simples e ir agregando complexidade passo a passo pode ser muito produtivo; Observar alguém com experiência no desenvolvimento nos possibilita aprender técnicas que auxiliam na produtividade e qualidade. Eu recomendo a todos que assistam quantas vezes acharem necessário até entender um conceito. Bom custo benefício.
