PyTest Quick Start

Pytest is a testing framework for Python that allows for automated testing of files containing test functions. Pytest finds test files automatically based on naming conventions and runs the test functions within. Markers can be used to select specific tests to run based on tags. The document provides details on pytest basics including file and test discovery, test structure requirements, and using markers to select tests.

Pytest Basics
• Finds tests automatically

• Test file names


ümust start with ‘test_*.py’ (_ required)
or

ümust end with ‘*_test.py’

• Finds files in current directory and subdirectories


Pytest Basics
• Test files can have just function for classes

• If class, then ‘__init__()’ should not exist

• Functions must start with ‘test*’ (_ not required)


def test_foo_bar(arg1, arg2, ..):

• Class names must start with ‘Test’ and methods with ‘test’
Class TestFooBar(object):

def test_verify_something():
