**Wed 7 Feb** (evening NZDT) will be the last virtual gathering in our *[VacExcHndlrs](https://danceswithmice.info/Python/2024/VacExcHndlrs.html)* series.

You are cordially-invited to join us to investigate the **pytest** Python testing framework.

*"The pytest framework makes it easy to write small, readable tests, and can scale to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries."*

**Pre-requisites**:

1. Head-set to ask questions and make contributions
2. Lab-/Log-/Note-book
3. Python 3.8+ installed
4. Ability to write intro-level Python program[me]s (at least)
5. Credentials to install from PyPi ("The Cheese Shop")
6. Preparedness to research, experiment, work with others...

As before, we will follow a *café* style of meeting. So, **come prepared** with a list of objectives you would like to achieve and a list of achievements you will be ready to share.

**Possible** (but far too many) **topics**:

* *installing* pytest (individual, system-wide, PyCharm, VSCodium, ...)
* TDD's (*Test-Driven Development*) red-green refactoring
* the Python *assert-statement*
* the project *directory-tree* and *auto-discovery*
* adding simple-*tests*
* *running* pytest
* *reporting*
* *structuring* the code-base to facilitate testing
* advantages/disadvantages of *automated testing*
* using a *GAI* to suggest/generate tests
* *fixtures* and *dependencies* (set-up and/or teardown)
* *scopes* (function, class, module, session)
* *parametrizing*
* *monkey-patching*
* *CI/CD* chaining you've built
* *plug-ins* you're finding helpful
* *coverage*
* testing *strategies*
* other testing *frameworks* and *aids*
(*open-ended* \- what would you like to add?\)

Come to participate, learn-from, and help others!
