pytest: Simple, rapid and fun testing with Python

The pytest tool presents a rapid and simple way to write tests for your code. Not only is it a much more powerful replacement for Python's built-in "unittest" test framework, it's also very suitable as a base for custom test systems: It's used to test IoT-fridges, washing machines, car components or even audio codecs.

This talk gives an introduction to some of pytest's distinguishing features, such as: 

• Automatic test discovery, no-boilerplate test code 
• Useful information when a test fails
• Marking and skipping tests
• Data-driven tests via parametrization
• Modular setup/teardown via fixtures
• Useful built-in fixtures
• Customizability via many config options and hundreds of plugins
