Ensuring the reliability and robustness of machine learning models is essential to building successful ML-powered applications.

This course begins with a thorough introduction to software testing essentials, particularly use cases within the machine learning context. You’ll learn about topics related to software testing, including unit and integration testing and more advanced testing techniques. Next, you’ll learn the best practices in software testing and dive into ML-specific testing techniques, such as behavioral and smoke tests. Lastly, you’ll cover the aspects of ML software reliability outside of testing, including runtime checks and type hinting.

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills to ensure the reliability and robustness of your machine learning systems. You’ll be able to apply software engineering principles to your ML processes, create and execute efficient testing approaches, and utilize monitoring tools to identify and resolve problems in your ML systems.

Reliable Machine Learning

# Overview

The `pytest` library is powerful, and  we won't be able to describe all its features here. However, we can still dive into a few to show them as some bait. 

# Check for exceptions
A common pattern is checking for exceptions—that's one of the ways to check not only the optimistic scenario (positive tests) but also expected failures. The `pytest` library makes it smooth using the `pytest.raises` option. Let's look at the example below:



Learn two more tricks that you can use in pytest: tests that are expected to fail and log capturing.
