TDD Recap & Review

Test-Driven Development With pytest Chyld Medford 00:25

This is the last video of the course and provides you a summary of what you have learned during this course.

Resources

TDD Project Sample Code

Congratulations, you made it to the end of the course! Make it stick: Mentor AI will check what you’ve got down, help you build something with it, and find your #1 takeaway to share in the discussion.

Or go straight to the discussion section and share your #1 takeaway and how you’ll put your new skills to use.

00:00 Finally, I wanted to recap the objectives of this video. In this video, you learned how to build a basic stack data structure, you learned how to use test driven development techniques, you learned how to layout the files in your project, you learned about pytest, you learned how to use fixtures during testing, and finally, you learned about test coverage.

00:21 Thank you.

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

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!
