This repo holds a tutorial which will walk you through adding unit tests,

exploring these features of unit testing in general and pytest in particular:

- Basic unit testing

- Observing test success and coverage using

  [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/) and [coveralls](https://coveralls.io/).

# Requirements

2. Python (2.7 or 3.x) with:

  - pip

  - virtualenv

5. Git (either Github for Windows or command-line git)

6. Text editor or IDE (e.g. Pycharm)

# Tutorial Steps

1. [Setup and run tests](./steps/1-run_tests.md)

2. [Test a simple function](./steps/2-simple_function.md)

3. [Create and build a pull request](./steps/3-pull.md)

4. [Testing incorrect input](./steps/4-input.md)

5. [Testing classes with fixtures](./steps/5-classes.md)

6. [Using mock and patch](./steps/6-mock.md)

7. [Parameterized tests](./steps/7-params.md)

8. [Refactoring for unit testability](./steps/8-refactor.md)
