Test-Driven Python Development

Overview of this book

This book starts with a look at the test-driven development process, and how it is different from the traditional way of writing code. All the concepts are presented in the context of a real application that is developed in a step-by-step manner over the course of the book. While exploring the common types of smelly code, we will go back into our example project and clean up the smells that we find. Additionally, we will use mocking to implement the parts of our example project that depend on other systems. Towards the end of the book, we'll take a look at the most common patterns and anti-patterns associated with test-driven development, including integration of test results into the development process.

IDE integration


We haven't talked about IDE integration yet. This is because most of the popular Python IDEs have built-in support for running unit tests from within the IDE. It is almost a basic feature these days. In addition, there are plugins available for popular text editors such as vim, emacs, and Sublime Text 3. We won't cover each and every one of these since they are too numerous. It only takes a quick online search to get the configuration or plugins we need to run tests from within our favorite IDE or text editor.
