Part-1 Pytest | Django | Gentle Introduction, Setup and Start Testing

Pytest is a popular python test automation framework. Here we look at getting started with Pytest and Django. In this tutorial we Start a new Django project then Setup Django-Pytest. At this point we take a look at some simple examples covering topics such as Assert Statements, Running tests Testing outcomes and Report options.

Part-2 Pytest | Django | Introducing Fixtures and Fixture Factory

Pytest is a popular python test automation framework. Here we look at getting started with Pytest fixtures with Python Django. In this tutorial we continue to explore Pytest, specifically focusing Pytest fixtures. We build a range of different simple examples using Fixtures, moving to using fixtures external to our test files. The final stage, we build an example of factory as a fixture and showcase the flexibility that if offers in our testing.

Part-3 Pytest | Django | Introducing Factory Boy and Faker - Fixture Replacement

Pytest is a popular python test automation framework. Here we look at replacing Pytest fixtures with Factory Boy in a Python Django project. Factory Boy as a fixtures replacement tool, it aims to replace static, hard to maintain fixtures with easy-to-use factories for complex objects. In this tutorial we intergrade Factory boy into our small app and take a look at some of the more common features.

Part-4 Pytest | Django | Parametrizing

Pytest is a popular python test automation framework. Here we look at Parametrizing Fixtures and Test Functions with Pytest in a Django project. A useful feature of Pytest, parametrization allows us to define multiple sets of arguments and fixtures at the test function or class. Although pytest enables test parametrization at several levels, in this tutorial we get started by working through an example of a test function that implements parametrization checking multiple input leads to the expected output.
