Summary#

Experience with pytest for writing and running unit tests, integration tests, and test-driven development in Python projects. Applied testing practices to ensure code quality in research and application development.

How I Apply This Skill#

• Wrote unit tests for Flask API endpoints in Study Buddy project
• Created test fixtures for reusable test setup and teardown
• Used parametrized tests for testing multiple input scenarios
• Implemented mocking for external API calls and database connections
• Applied TDD practices writing tests before implementation
• Integrated pytest with CI/CD pipelines for automated testing

Key Strengths#

• Test Organization: Test modules, classes, fixtures, conftest.py
• Assertions: Built-in assertions, custom matchers, exception testing
• Fixtures: Scope management, dependency injection, teardown
• Parametrization: Testing multiple inputs with single test function
• Mocking: unittest.mock, pytest-mock for isolating units
