Benjamin Wolff (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt)

Goal

You learn the basics of efficient testing in Python. In addition, we show you how to apply them practically in your Python project.

Content

This workshop will cover the the following topics:

• Introduction to test automation
• Pytest basics
• Test isolation using mock
• Code coverage analysis using coverage.py
• Run tests via a GitLab CI build pipeline

You learn to apply the presented strategies on the basis of a consistent code example.

Requirements

• Good Python programming skills are required.
• Participants require a computer equipped with a modern Web browser and a recent Python environment. We will provide more detailed setup information before the workshop.

We are looking forward to seeing you!
