How can I automate tests in Python?

You can use frameworks like unittest, pytest, or nose to automate your tests in Python. Do you have a specific framework in mind?

I think I want to use pytest. What are the steps to get started?

To get started with pytest, first install it using pip: pip install pytest. Then, create a test file starting with test_ and define your test functions also starting with test_. You can run your tests by executing pytest in your terminal.

Can you show me a simple example of a test using pytest?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

def add(a, b):
    return a + b


def test_add():
    assert add(2, 3) == 5
    assert add(-1, 1) == 0

Save this in a file named test_example.py and run pytest to see the results!

What if I want to test a web application?

For testing web applications, you can use pytest along with Selenium or requests. Would you like to know more about that?
