Welcome to the pytest course! This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively write and execute tests using pytest, a powerful testing framework for Python. Testing is crucial for software quality, and pytest is an essential tool in achieving that. 

Throughout the course, you’ll gain a solid foundation in pytest fundamentals and its core concepts, features, and capabilities. You’ll learn how to write and organize tests, use powerful assertions, manage fixtures, and leverage the extensive plugin ecosystem. Additionally, you’ll discover techniques for achieving high test coverage, writing effective test cases, and improving code quality.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to write well-structured and effective tests using pytest, seamlessly integrate testing into your development workflow, and ensure high test coverage. This knowledge will not only make you a more proficient developer but also enhance your career prospects in the software development industry.

Mastering Unit Testing with Pytest

It measures the percentage of code lines executed during the test suite.

It measures the percentage of possible branches within the code that are covered by the tests.

It measures the number of test cases written for each code module.

It measures the combination of branch and line coverage achieved by the test suite.
