Testing with Pytest

A short pytest module

This beginner Microsoft Learn module introduces Pytest, a popular Python test framework, and shows how it supports writing and running tests. It is brief, at about 21 minutes, and includes an exercise so you can try the ideas yourself.

What it covers

• Pytest basics for writing and running tests.
• Test classes and test methods.
• Patterns, utilities and reporting that make Pytest a solid choice.

Who should try it

Anyone starting Python testing who wants a quick, hands-on introduction will find the module well sized. Pair it with the more advanced Microsoft Learn module on pytest once you are comfortable with classes and methods. The short length makes it a low-commitment way to check whether pytest suits your work before going deeper.
