A Complete Guide on How to Test Python Applications with Pytest

Installation of Pytest

Install Pytest using pip install pytest to get started with testing your Python applications easily.

Writing Test Functions

Test functions are written by prefixing the function name with test_ and can include multiple test cases.

Writing Your First Test

Create a test file and write a basic test function: python def test_addition():    assert 1 + 1 == 2 Save the file with the prefix test_.

Running Pytest

Run tests by executing the following command: pytest Pytest will discover all tests in files starting with test_.

Testing Functions with Parameters

You can test multiple inputs using @pytest.mark.parametrize: python @pytest.mark.parametrize("a, b, result", [(1, 2, 3), (2, 3, 5)]) def test_add(a, b, result):    assert a + b == result

Testing Exceptions

To test if a function raises an exception, use: python def test_zero_division():    with pytest.raises(ZeroDivisionError):        1 / 0
