About This Book* Write robust and easily maintainable code ÛÛ
using the principles of test driven development* Get ÛÛ
solutions to real-world problems faced by Python ÛÛ
developers* Go from a unit testing beginner to a master ÛÛ
through a series of step-by-step tutorials that are easy to ÛÛ
followWho This Book Is For ÛÛ
This book is intended for Python developers who want to use ÛÛ
the principles of test-driven development (TDD) to create ÛÛ
efficient and robust applications. In order to get the best ÛÛ
out of this book, you should have development experience ÛÛ
with Python. ÛÛ
What You Will Learn * Implement the test-driven development ÛÛ
process in Python applications * Fully leverage Python's ÛÛ
powerful built-in unittest and doctest modules * ÛÛ
Effectively add features to existing code bases that do not ÛÛ
have any tests * Safely resolve problems with the code and ÛÛ
design, without breaking any functionality * Utilize ÛÛ
Python's powerful mock and patch functionality to test ÛÛ
complex interactions * Integrate unit testing into the ÛÛ
overall software delivery process * Use doctest to test ÛÛ
code with examples * Enhance TDD with the nose2 test runner ÛÛ
In Detail ÛÛ
This book starts with a look at the test-driven development ÛÛ
process, and how it is different from the traditional way ÛÛ
of writing code. All the concepts are presented in the ÛÛ
context of a real application that is developed in a ÛÛ
step-by-step manner over the course of the book. While ÛÛ
exploring the common types of smelly code, we will go back ÛÛ
into our example project and clean up the smells that we ÛÛ
find. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Additionally, we will use mocking to implement the parts of ÛÛ
our example project that depend on other systems. Towards ÛÛ
the end of the book, we'll take a look at the most common ÛÛ
patterns and anti-patterns associated with test-driven ÛÛ
development, including integration of test results into the ÛÛ
development process. ÛÛ
