The goal of this chapter is covering basic ideas of how testing is done in Python. Few main test frameworks discussed - doctest (for small projects) and unittest (xUnit/jUnit clone for medium and bigger sized projects).

Plan:

• Basic Terminology

• Testing theory

• Dev unit testing vs QA automated testing

• Best Practices

• Doctest

• Unittest

• Test Runners

• Pytest

• Nose

• Continuous Integration
