TDD Recap & Review

I enjoyed this, speech and diction was clear, succinct and relevant. Liked the flow of how tests lead the development of the object. fixtures and coverage were covered in a simple to understand manner. Well done.

This was useful and perhaps this could be my first step into test driven development.

Thanks Chyld! great stuff.

Also, really like your vscode theme or at least the font - mind sharing what that is?

Thanks!

The theme is Monokai Pro. www.monokai.pro/vscode/

I use either Dank Mono or Operator Mono. dank.sh/ www.typography.com/fonts/operator/styles/

Perfect, thanks again

Excellent

Great tutorials. It gives you the big picture of the unit testing concept by pytest in a short time. These tutorials will be the good choice if you don’t have enough time to study the pytest framework because it drives you to the important concepts that you need to start testing your code.

Thank you.

Thank you Chyld! This was a fantastic bite-sized intro to TDD. Excited to implement.

This is the perfect tutorial. Now I feel comfortable about test driven development. Can you point me. @Chyld, can you point me to a great resource for learning the advance stuffs when it comes to test driven development with pytest?

Really Great tutorial, I learned the concepts of applying TDD practically :)

Thank you very much for giving a clear explanation. Great job!

This demystified pytest fixtures for me. Thank you!

The --cov flag didnt work for me until i manually installed cov with pip install pytest-cov. Otherwise, excellent tutorial with nice pace.

How do you make testrun results colorful in the terminal? I use git-bash on windows…

That was a good tutorial, thank you.

Very good introductory tutorial for developer getting into testing in Python especially pytest. Thank you.

The information presented is useful to me. My next task is to automate testing on my current project and this material will help me to move forward.

Thanks for this lesson video it’s helpful.

Nice description on fixtures. Hope to see some on mocks as well :)

Thanks for the useful video. I did not quite get why the len attribute of the stack class is defined as __len__ and in the test_stack file why you called it directly rather than using stack.len()? Thanks

I haven’t touched Python or pytest for a while, and this course refreshes my memory. The test coverage feature of pytest is new for me, and I was wondering how to get the coverage if the application under test is NOT written in python.

Thank you!…the course is very helpful.

Great introduction, thanks a lot. For a Python Newbie, that is very helpful.

Good one. Thanks!

FYI - when I first tried to use –cov, I got the following error:

[miguknamja@mbp ~/python-tdd]$ python3 -m pytest -v --cov
ERROR: usage: __main__.py [options] [file_or_dir] [file_or_dir] [...]
__main__.py: error: unrecognized arguments: --cov
  inifile: None
  rootdir: /Users/miguknamja/python-tdd

To fix it, I simply had to install pytest-cov

$ pip install pytest-cov

Note : I’m using python3.

Thank you, I would love more advanced course on this topic!

adding --cov just got too much info, apparently all the packages have been checked.

Thanks for another great intro course. I want to incorporate testing into my development but have a question below regarding applicability:

When working with Pandas to handle and condition data, should I use PyTest to check for errors/bugs in the output data?

e.g. that there are no null values in the DataFrame, or that totals of columns match in the output DataFrame compared to the input etc

Would this be an inappropriate use of testing, and should instead be done within the program as normal code?

Thanks

Andy

I started my first TDD Python project this week. I thought that I would struggle with working out what tests to write before the program functions, but when I got down to it, I found the concept fairly easy. I have taken away that more than one assert can be used in a test. Fixtures for resetting objects and the coverage feature are new to me. Thank you.

Great course. Thanks!

I had some issues with the file/dir layout suggested. So I had do copy the “test_stack.py” one directory up in the directory tree in order to follow along with the tutorual. Something like:

(venv-3.8.5) rafonso@ronaldoafonso-pc:~/Python/data_structure$ tree
.
├── datastructure
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── stack.py
└── test_stack.py

1 directory, 3 files

I’m using a virtual environment that I created this way:

python -m venv venv-3.8.5

Nice introduction to this subject.

Yeah, very nice course. Loved instructor’s diction and voice. Thanks! :)

In the (conda) environment I created to work along with this tutorial, running “python -m pytest -v –cov” didn’t work – I had to also install pytest-cov as well. After I did so, this command ran as intended.

Thank you

The course is good and informative based on hands-on experience. I like it but It will be awesome if there is more videos regards coverage metrics (code coverage and test coverage) as well as their pros and cons.

Great, calm video series. Thanks a lot!

I kinda wanted to see how to test that an exception was thrown by the system under test. If the author or anybody has good resources on the topic I would appreciate.

Thank you! Simple and effective explanation on using pytest.

Before this course I didn’t know what a fixture was. Fixtures are really useful. Now I much prefer pytest to unittest.

I really enjoyed the shortness and concise the examples were nothing over the top crazy, or hard to understand. They got straight to the point, and this short introduction makes me excited to learn more about PyTest!
