That's right... we need PyTest... Build our code structure (Fixtures) Create Test Suites Test Runners Provide Assertions Let's not waste time and start coding… Create Folder My_tests Create python file test_utils 1 def twice(x): 2 return x * 2 3 4 5 def thrice(x): 6 return x * 3   Code conventions: Files start (or end) with: test_ Methods start with: test_ Class starts with: Test_ Install PyTest: Install: pip install -U pytest Verify correct version: pytest --version How to tun PyTest ?
