🐍 What is Pytest?
Pytest is a powerful, easy-to-use testing framework for Python.
It helps you write unit tests, functional tests, and even complex end-to-end tests — all using simple syntax that’s easy to read and write.
🔥 Why SDETs and Developers Love Pytest:
✅ Minimal Boilerplate
Write a test by simply creating a function that starts with test_. That’s it!
✅ Rich Assertions
Forget boring assertEqual and assertTrue — just use assert and Pytest gives detailed error messages when tests fail.
✅ Fixtures
Reusable setup and teardown code made easy — perfect for test data, mocks, DB connections, etc.
✅ Plugins Galore
Tons of plugins for HTML reports, parallel execution, mocking, Django/Flask integration, and more.
✅ Scalable
Write 10 tests or 10,000 — Pytest handles them like a champ.
🚀 Use Cases:
-
Unit testing individual Python functions
-
API testing with requests or httpx
-
Automation testing with tools like Selenium, Playwright, Appium
-
Integrating with CI/CD pipelines
-
Writing Behavior-Driven tests (with pytest-bdd)
🧠 Fun Fact:
Pytest was originally called py.test, but has grown into one of the most loved Python testing tools today (often ranked #1 on StackOverflow Developer Surveys in Python testing).
