What are some effective testing strategies in Python?

Some effective testing strategies in Python include unit testing, integration testing, and using test-driven development (TDD). Would you like to know more about any specific strategy?

Can you explain unit testing in more detail?

Unit testing involves testing individual components or functions of your code to ensure they work as intended. Python's built-in unittest module is commonly used for this.

How do I set up a unit test using the unittest module?

To set up a unit test, you can create a test class that inherits from unittest.TestCase, define test methods, and use assertions to check expected outcomes. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for a simple unit test.

Here's a simple example:

import unittest

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

class TestAddFunction(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_add(self):
        self.assertEqual(add(1, 2), 3)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

This tests the add function to ensure it returns the correct sum.
