Real World Python Test Automation with Pytest (Django app)

🌟 Real World Python Test Automation with Pytest (Django app) 🌟

Course Headline:

Master Pytest by Crafting a Django Application with CI Integration!

Course Description:

This is a MUST-TAKE course for anyone who wants to delve into the world of testing with Python's leading testing framework, pytest. In this comprehensive online course, you'll not only learn the intricacies of pytest but also build a fully functional Django application, complete with a robust Continuous Integration (CI) system using Bitbucket Cloud Pipelines.

• Building a Django Application: We'll start by constructing a basic Django server, and I'll guide you through just enough Django to enable us to build the app and then focus on testing it comprehensively.

• Testing the Application: Together, we'll execute a wide array of tests – from unit to integration, API, end-to-end, and performance tests, with over 40 tests in total!

• Complete CI System: You'll finish with a complete CI system that integrates Bitbucket Cloud Pipelines, Slack messaging for notifications, and Allure reporting to provide insights into your test results.

• Real-Time Learning: Every time you push an update, our CI system will run the tests and alert you of the build's status. This real-time feedback is invaluable in understanding the effectiveness of your code.

• Understanding Pytest Internals: We'll dive deep into pytest's features, including fixtures, markers, parametrize, skip, xfail, pytest.ini configurations, and more! You'll know how pytest functions under the hood when it executes your tests.

• Just Enough Django: We'll cover the essentials of Django needed to build a web server, focusing on REST API, models, migrations, views, serializers, and SQLite3 database with email backends.

• Mastering CI: You'll learn how to set up Bitbucket pipelines, use environment variables, manage parallel steps, work with Docker, and integrate Slack messaging for notifications, as well as configure Allure Reporting.

• Comprehensive Testing Strategies: We'll explore unit tests, integration tests, API tests, end-to-end tests, performance tests, and the importance of different testing environments.

• Python Best Practices: From setting up virtual environments with pipenv to using Pipfile, implementing type hinting, formatting code with Black, and managing configuration with .env files – you'll be equipped with the best practices for Python development.

• Recreating the Project's UI: No prior knowledge of Django or React is required as we'll recreate the project's UI during the course. You'll learn all the necessary skills to complement your testing expertise.

This is not an entry-level course; a basic understanding of Python is essential. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid foundation in test automation with Pytest and Django, along with a comprehensive CI setup that ensures high-quality code every time.
