Fundamental testing methodologies applied to the popular Python
language
Testing Python; Applying Unit Testing, TDD, BDD and
Acceptance Testing is the most comprehensive book available on
testing for one of the top software programming languages in the
world. Python is a natural choice for new and experienced
developers, and this hands-on resource is a much needed guide to
enterprise-level testing development methodologies. The book will
show you why Unit Testing and TDD can lead to cleaner, more
flexible programs.
Unit Testing and Test-Driven Development (TDD) are increasingly
must-have skills for software developers, no matter what language
they work in. In enterprise settings, it’s critical for developers
to ensure they always have working code, and that’s what makes
testing methodologies so attractive. This book will teach you the
most widely used testing strategies and will introduce to you to
still others, covering performance testing, continuous testing, and
more.
