Python is becoming the most widely used programming language.
Different Types of Testing
- Unit Test — you can picture this being at the bottom of the pyramid. It is mostly used to pinpoint bugs in your code. It cannot be used for integration testing, unit tests should essentially just give the function that’s tested some inputs, and then check what the function outputs are correct.
- UI Testing — the user interface testing, on the other hand, it can be pictured at the top of the pyramid. The purpose is to test UI elements and features, to replicate a user experience. Usually, this is the most time consuming and expensive type of testing on your web application.
- Service/API Layer Testing — the aim is to split UI testing from Unit testing and test functionality in terms of services.
Efficient UI testing
I'm going to go ahead and assume that you know what Selenium is and that you are familiar with "Unit Test" or "Pytest" in python. If you are not, I would suggest that you read an article about either, or try them out yourself!
