Advanced testing with pytest

Parametrization and fixtures

This intermediate Microsoft Learn module builds on basic pytest to cover its advanced features. It concentrates on two areas, parametrization and fixtures, and includes an exercise, with an estimated run time of about 26 minutes.

What you practice

• Running one test across several sets of inputs with pytest parametrization.
• Sharing setup and teardown logic through pytest fixtures.
• An exercise that asks you to apply both features.

Who it suits

Developers who already write basic pytest tests and want to reduce repetition will find the module the logical next step. Because the content is concentrated on two features, it also works as a focused reference when you need either one. Working through it after the basics gives the fixture and parametrization patterns a concrete context.
