What are asynchronous tests and why are they important?

Asynchronous tests are designed to handle operations that take time to complete, like API calls. They ensure your code behaves correctly even when tasks run in parallel.

Can you give me an example of an asynchronous test?

Sure! In JavaScript, you might use a testing framework like Jest to test a function that fetches data from an API. You would use async/await to handle the asynchronous operation.

What happens if I don't use asynchronous tests?

If you don't use asynchronous tests, your tests might fail or give incorrect results because they may not wait for the asynchronous operations to complete.

How do I write an asynchronous test in Python?

In Python, you can use the asyncio library along with pytest to write asynchronous tests. You would define your test function with async def and use await for the asynchronous calls.
