A comprehensive test suite gives you the confidence to fix bugs, refactor, and
add new features to your application without fear of unknowingly breaking
unrelated parts of the codebase. End-to-end tests are a useful and important
member of your testing toolbox, and tools like pytest and
Playwright provide a robust implementation for Python
developers.
The tutorial runs for 180 minutes and is completely hands-on. It covers the
following topics with practical exercises that each participant completes on
their own computer:
- “User contract” testing
- Pytest and custom fixtures
- Asserting DOM state
- Testing interactive elements
- Integrating your test suite with Continuous Integration (CI)
I liked that it was hands-on, started with basics, and had failing tests as
part of the tutorial. Seeing progression from failure to passing is really
helpful for understanding what is happening in the code.
Though I am not new to testing, these techniques are new and super helpful.
I’m hoping to bring this all to my team.
I liked how interactive it was. The whole tutorial was easy enough to follow,
but explained some advanced concepts along the way. Being able to write,
update, and run tests multiple times during the workshop was very helpful.
