Learn how to automate unit tests of Python 3 with automation libraries such as doctest
unittest nose nose2 pytest and selenium. This book explores important concepts in software
test automation and demonstrates how to automate organize and execute unit tests with Python.
It also introduces readers to the concepts of web browser automation and logging. This new
edition starts with an introduction to Python 3. Next it covers doctest and pydoc. This is
followed by a discussion on unittest a framework that comes packaged with Python 3 itself.
There is a dedicated section on creating test suites followed by an explanation of how nose2
provides automatic test module discovery. Moving forward you will learn about pytest the most
popular third-party library and testrunner for Python. You will see how to write and execute
tests with pytest. You'll also learn to discover tests automatically with pytest. This edition
features two brand new chapters the firstof which focuses on the basics of web browser
automation with Selenium. You'll learn how to use Selenium with unittest to write test cases
for browser automation and use the Selenium IDE with web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.
You'll then explore logging frameworks such as Python's built-in logger and the third-party
framework loguru. The book concludes with an exploration of test-driven development with pytest
during which you will execute a small project using TDD methodology. What You Will Learn Start
