Python Unittest Course

Our 1-day Python Unit Testing and Automated Testing Course provides practical, instructor-led training in testing Python applications using the built-in unittest framework. You will learn how to create and run unit tests, use assertions, discover tests automatically, test exceptions and handle common testing scenarios. The course also introduces doctest, pytest and Nose, giving Python developers a broader understanding of automated testing approaches. With hands-on exercises, practical examples and a maximum group size of four, the course is designed to help developers build more reliable, maintainable and testable Python software.

Unit testing is an essential part of professional Python development because it helps developers identify errors early, before software reaches production. Automated testing makes it possible to run tests repeatedly and consistently, while regression testing helps ensure that existing functionality continues to work when code is changed or new features are added. This course explores Python's built-in unittest framework alongside popular alternatives such as pytest, helping developers understand when and how to use each approach. You will also learn how effective testing supports maintainable Python code and how test-driven development (TDD) can be used to build more reliable software from the outset.
