> _pytest_:

> Simple, Rapid, Effective and Scalable

• **Unit test**: A test that checks a small bit of code, like a function or a class, in isolation of the

rest of the system.

• **Integration test**: A test that checks a larger bit of the code, maybe several classes, or a

subsystem. Mostly it’s a label used for some test larger than a unit test, but smaller than a system

test.

• **System test (end-to-end)**: A test that checks all of the system under test in an environment as

close to the end-user environment as possible.

• **Functional test**: A test that checks a single bit of functionality of a system. A test that checks

how well we add or delete or update a task item in Tasks is a functional test.

• **Subcutaneous test**: A test that does not run against the final end-user interface, but against an

interface just below the surface. Since most of the tests in this book test against the API

layer—not the CLI—they qualify as subcutaneous tests.
