Course Overview
Learning the discipline of Test Driven Development (also known as TDD) Using the Python Programming Language
Test Driven Development is a key discipline every software developer should practice to ensure the quality of their code. In this course I'll show you how to use this discipline in your everyday coding practices to help ensure the quality of your code base.
In this course we’ll be going over:
What is Unit Testing and Test Driven Development and how does it help you.
What is the PyTest testing library and how is it used for writing unit tests in Python.
How to setup some common Python development environments to use PyTest.
What are Test Doubles and how do you implement and use them with unittest.mock.

MMarco Frascella
The lecturer shows a code example for almost every concept, which makes explanations easier to follow, the "what" is shown but the "why" is often missing and it feels like reading documentation with no personal addition from the author's experience.

The course was clear and well explained. As a note, I would like to see code written in compliance with the PEP‑8 coding style in a course that uses Python.
