Pytest

The Python testing tool Pytest can be used with any project. There is no boilerplate code necessary, and installation is simple. Pytest operates by gathering tests from your project and executing them virtually. This enables you to test your code without adding any extra software to your computer.

Pytest is simple to use in contrast to other test frameworks. Though the language is much more powerful, the majority of users have only used it to test straightforward software programmes. Additionally, it is very flexible. Its usability is one aspect that contributes to its popularity. You can design fixtures that need a lot of external resources but aren't always required by the application. Reusable fixtures can be used to test your program's predicted behavior.
