This book is for anyone who wants to start using pytest to improve their testing skills in their daily workflow. It covers everything from getting pytest installed, and its more important features, all the way through to tips and tricks to converting existing unittest-based suites to pytest. There are also several tips and discussions based on the author's many years of testing and pytest experience.

In this book, you will learn how to get started right away and get the most out of pytest in your daily work?ow, exploring powerful mechanisms and plugins to facilitate many common testing tasks. You will also see how to use pytest in existing unittest-based test suites and will learn some tricks to make the jump to a pytest-style test suite quickly and easily.
