Top 23 Python Pytest Projects
-
SeleniumBase
A Python framework that inspires developers to become better test automation engineers. 🧠💡
Project mention: What to learn for QA / testing automation with Python ? | reddit.com/r/learnpython | 2021-08-29i haven't. it's the first time i heard about it actually. on our project, it's selenium with seleniumbase
-
Most of my work these days is in python, for which my preferred debugger is pudb. For integration into vim, I maintain a small plugin for managing breakpoints: vim-pudb-and-jam
-
Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

Project mention: Lab8 Manage project complexity through the use of Automated Testing | dev.to | 2021-11-13
How to install Pytest-cov
-
Schemathesis
A modern API testing tool for web applications built with Open API and GraphQL specifications.
Project mention: How bad models ruin an API (or why design-first is the way to go) | dev.to | 2022-01-09Schemaless schemas make testing difficult. Tools like Dredd and Schemathesis rely on your API documentation to generate tests and validate your API responses. A collection of free-form arrays like the above model will pass nearly every test, even if the length of the arrays or their contents are wrong. Schemaless schemas are also useless for API mocking, which is a fundamental part of building reliable API integrations.

Project mention: My findings for a pytest-django warning - Error when trying to teardown test databases | dev.to | 2021-11-08
The source of this warning is from pytest-django's fixtures.py file. It can be found here on GitHub . The function being called is teardown_database which is defined on line 126.
-
tavern
A command-line tool and Python library and Pytest plugin for automated testing of RESTful APIs, with a simple, concise and flexible YAML-based syntax (by taverntesting)
Project mention: Looking for fast (non-electron) alternative for Postman to test REST API in Windows | reddit.com/r/webdev | 2021-09-19At work we are really not fond of postman, at all. We like Tavern quite a lot https://github.com/taverntesting/tavern
-
By “chance” the tests were always run in the right order for years. This situation could have been detected way earlier by using a random execution order for tests. It happens that python has simple modules to do so.
-
OPS
OPS - Build and Run Open Source Unikernels. Quickly and easily build and deploy open source unikernels in tens of seconds. Deploy in any language to any cloud.

Just saw https://github.com/darrenburns/pytest-clarity and also pytest fork on Darren's github profile.
@Darren, did you consider extending/improving pytest over starting from scratch? if yes, what were you biggest drivers to start a new test framework
-
The testbook project is a different take on notebook unit testing. It allows you to refer to your notebooks in pure Python code from outside a notebook. This allows you to use any testing framework you like (for example, pytest, or unittest) in separate Python modules. You may have a situation where allowing users to modify and update notebook code is the best way to keep code updated and to allow for flexibility for end users. But you may prefer that the code still be tested and verified separately. Testbook makes this an option.
-
Websauna
Websauna is a full stack Python web framework for building web services and back offices with admin interface and sign up process
-
Project mention: Any enterprise level open source django project? | reddit.com/r/django | 2021-12-29

Project mention: Two Methods for Testing HTTPS API Calls with Python and pytest and also Communicating with the In-laws | dev.to | 2021-03-16
An alternate approach involves using VCR.py, a tool that records HTTP interactions in YAML files, then intercepts future HTTP requests and plays back the recorded responses. In this tutorial, we will use pytest-vcr to interface with VCR.py, although pytest-recording is another good option for doing the same.

Project mention: My Python testing style guide – Stargirl (Thea) Flowers | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-03-24
I've found pytest to encourage tests with really long method names, examples from the post:
* test_refresh_failure
* test_refresh_with_timeout
These get even longer like test_refresh_with_timeout_when_username_is_not_found for example.
pytest-describe allows for a much nicer testing syntax. There's a great comparison here: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-describe#why-bother
TL;DR, this is nicer:
def describe_my_function():
def with_default_arguments(): -
- https://github.com/praekeltfoundation/seaworthy but you have to recreate a manifest with code. Not ideal for mildly complex stuff. 3+years was last commit :(( - https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-python which is weirdly specific to certain container images. Again, not working off a manifest (I think), 1 months since last commit. :( - https://github.com/vapor-ware/kubetest which uses kubernetes(k8s) manifests and integrates with pyTest. Last commit 10 month ago.

I avoid writing automated tests that hit an external API - especially one out of my control - because I don't want my CI runs to ever fail because someone else's service wasn't responding. I want CI to be a completely closed box, such that any failures mean there's a bug in my code.
If I want to test external APIs I'll do that in a separate set of integration tests which are run as part of a separate system, not as part of my CI for every code commit to my repo.
I mostly use Python, and the APIs I talk to are mostly accessed via the requests or httpx libraries - both of which have excellent libraries for productive mocking:

-
xdoctest
A rewrite of Python's builtin doctest module (with pytest plugin integration) with AST instead of REGEX.
-
Project mention: If you use OpenAPI specs for API your documentation 👏 | reddit.com/r/django | 2021-02-23
We've recently put a lot of effort into rewriting drf-openapi-tester - a test utility made to help developers test their API docs.
-
Project mention: pytest-codeblocks: Test snippets from your READMEs | reddit.com/r/Python | 2021-12-09
If you have code blocks in your README, you can pytest them with pytest-codeblocks. pip install pytest-codeblocks pytest --codeblocks README.md I just added better config support for it, especially if you'd like to conditionally skip testing some of the blocks (skipif).

-
Project mention: Audacity may collect “Data necessary for law enforcement, litigation” and more | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-07-03
viraptor was not really responding to the discussion about the shell script at all, but was rather talking about stuff like https://github.com/getsentry/pytest-sentry

openverse-catalog
Identifies and collects data on cc-licensed content across web crawl data and public apis.
