Testing Python Applications with Pytest.

Pytest is a testing framework and test runner for Python. In this guide we will have a look at the most useful and common configuration and usage, including several pytest plugins and external libraries. Although Python comes with a unittest module in the standard library and there are other Python test frameworks like nose2 or Ward, pytest remains my favourite. The beauty of using simple functions instead of class hierarchies, one simple assert instead of many different assert functions, built-in parametrized testing, a nice system of fixtures and the number of available plugins makes it a pleasure to use.
