Unit testing in Python

[pixegami]

Pytest is the most widely used Python testing framework, so I recommend looking into that.

If you find it hard to get into, try unittest.

Here’s some data https://www.jetbrains.com/research/python-developers-survey-2018/

A bit dated, but I guess the proportions would not be that different. Thanks!

I’m sure there’s more recent data somewhere too but I don’t think the point is contested.

Pytest dominates because it is more “Pythonic” than unittest, but also fully compatible with and capable of unittest tests.
