About Python Testing: Beginner's Guide
I've recently had the pleasure of reading "Python Testing: An easy and convenient approach to testing your python projects" from Packt Publishing. It's been a quick read but a solid set of instructions on the different methods for the subject. The book starts out very quickly with details about the various methods that are available, the means of automation for testing, and of course the environment you'd want to be in for working on the subjects that the book covers. It then, in the second chapter, moves into the guts of testing by describing the basics of doctest via syntax and some simple examples, and then moves on to a real world example via the AVL tree. It's all very basic testing until chapter three where the author gets into unit testing, which is probably the most useful method in my opinion, and he goes to prove it's usefulness with examples of it's use in different parts and stages of the development process. Later in the book the python mocker is used to separate unit sections, and then the actual unittest framework is discussed with more examples and a enough details that if you don't understand it by then, you may never. By chapter six we are into the Nose app that drives the unittest, which is very useful of course. The most useful part of the book comes toward the end where the author discusses and the walks through the method used to create a test-driven application and then even shows examples via the whole chapter dedicated towards making a testable web application frontend. Very impressive for such a quick read. Integration testing and System testing is also covered, thankfully. The final chapter covers some useful tools and techniques of which I particularly enjoyed the section on version control hooks. If you are not using version control in your development process you need to start now, as such the hooks for integration with the test framework are rather useful to know. Overall this is a very nice book that discusses python application testing from the ground up. It's perfect for a beginner or an intermediate python programmer that has little to no experience in automated testing methods. More advanced programmers that have already used these methods will probably not find the book too useful except for the last chapter that covers extra tools and techniques that they might not have seen before. If I didn't have this book and needed to learn about python testing, it would be my first choice and my only recommendation so far. Well written and very useful. If there is one thing I do not like about the book, it would be the reliance on the python CLI for running commands. I am a CLI kind of person and I keep lots of terminals open at the same time, so I prefer to write my code in an editor or IDE in one term tab, then switch to another and execute the script; I do not use the python command line to do much of anything. So following some of the steps in the book require that you follow the CLI method and that gets old for me. It's a personal preference but one worth noting as there is a lot of it in the book. That's the only thing I did not enjoy in a book that was otherwise basically perfect for the subject.
