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.

Learn Unit Testing and TDD―important development methodologies that lie at the heart of Agile development
Enhance your ability to work with Python to develop powerful, flexible applications with clean code
Draw on the expertise of author David Sale, a leading UK developer and tech commentator
Get ahead of the crowd by mastering the underappreciated world of Python testing

Knowledge of software testing in Python could set you apart from Python developers using outmoded methodologies. Python is a natural fit for TDD and Testing Python is a must-read text for anyone who wants to develop expertise in Python programming.

From the Inside Flap

Clearly defines testing fundamentals and best practices
Provides comprehensive overview of unit testing methods
Explains how to implement Test Driven Development
Covers acceptance testing and tools needed to perform acceptance tests

Apply Acceptance Testing, Test-Driven Development, Unit Testing, and Behavior-Driven Development to Python

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. More recently, behavior-driven development (BDD) has taken testing to a new level, and this book will introduce you to the practice and tools to take up this exciting modern style of testing your software. 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. Learn to:

Get your hands dirty with the basic building blocks in testing: unit tests
Effectively embed unit tests in your doc strings and have them run as tests
Adopt the concepts and ethos of test-driven development (TDD)
Deploy smoke testing and get to grips with Pylint
Write and undertake acceptance testing with Cucumber, Lettuce, and Robot
Analyse and find problem areas within your code using JMeter and cProfile
Successfully implement continuous integration

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

DAVID SALE is a Software Engineer Lead working primarily in Python and Java. He obtained a degree in Computing at the University of Leeds. Whilst studying Computing, Python was taught as the main programming language of the course. This is where David's interest in Python first began and he has looked to further his knowledge in what has become his core programming language.

Following University, David joined Sky UK in September 2011, as part of the Software Engineering Academy graduate scheme. The scheme proved to be an excellent platform for David to launch his career in software development.

Notably, David has worked on a RESTful Python application that models Sky's products and offers, applies complex pricing rules and business logic, whilst delivering a completely data driven approach to the problem.

David quickly began making his presence known in the Python Community, having written web articles on various Python topics. David has also given talks on Behaviour Driven Development and Agile Development at the EuroPython conference, which was held in Florence Italy, with videos of the talks available on YouTube.

David follows Agile Development principles, with pair programming and Test/Behaviour Driven Development a must. From this focus on testing from such an early point in his career, he has picked up many tips and techniques in Python testing which allows development of quality software, which the business has up most confidence in. It is hoped the tips and advice in this book allow you to learn and improve your daily test- ing skills in Python.
