Types of testing:

  • Unit Testing — testing individual functions or classes.
  • Integration Testing — testing the interaction between modules.
  • Functional Testing — testing functionality according to requirements.
  • System Testing — testing the entire system as a whole.
  • Acceptance Testing — verifying the system's readiness for users.
  • Regression Testing — ensuring that changes haven't broken existing functionality.
  • Load Testing — testing behavior under load.

Tools and frameworks in Python:

  • unittest — built-in module for unit testing.
  • pytest — popular framework with a convenient syntax and extensions.
  • nose2 — extension of unittest with additional features.
  • tox — automation of running tests in different environments.
  • mock — for creating stubs and mocks.
  • Selenium — for automating browser testing.
  • Locust — for load testing.

Example of a simple test with pytest:

import pytest

def add(a, b):
    return a + b


def test_add():
    assert add(2, 3) == 5

Run with: pytest.
