How do I perform integration testing in Flask?

To perform integration testing in Flask, you can use the built-in test client provided by Flask. This allows you to simulate requests to your application.

Can you show me a simple example of how to set it up?

Sure! First, you need to create a test case class that inherits from unittest.TestCase. Then, you can use self.app.test_client() to make requests.

What about testing the database interactions?

For database interactions, you can use a test database and set up your application context. Use setUp and tearDown methods to manage your database state.

Are there any libraries that can help with this?

Yes, libraries like pytest and Flask-Testing can simplify your integration testing process.
