I've used many test suites over that time. And these days, between on line documents and YouTube videos, recommending a book seems unspeakably "20th century." But I do recommend this book. I'm a latecomer to Python (I'm part of the perl generation). So this book, which is firmly grounded in established software testing practices and theories, takes a "here's what's unique to this language and this testing framework." It does this so well that it has improved my understanding of Python styles and idioms let alone getting me in to the depths of pytest, and what it offers that really makes it more effective and compact than any testing framework I've used before. And having the text there while you work with code is genuinely helpful. Plus books are solar powered and the batteries never run out! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars pytest. no more. no less. perfect *by P***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017* If you just want to get started with unit-testing, skip this book.If you're a python programmer who knows (a little or a lot of) unit-testing you may want to learn how to better exploit the built-in fixtures and other goodies pytest has to offer. This book should scratch that itch. It stays on topic and talks about making pytest work for python unit-testing - no more, no less; it completely delivers on the promise of the title.This is a short well-edited book and an easy read. The first 150 pages include a fairly detailed overview and good (short) examples of the various cmd-line switches/options, a good discussion of conftest.py, and the other built-in fixtures. The last 30 pages or so is a series of short appendices about virtual environments, pip, pytest packages, and packaging python code. These are nice adjuncts that can help make your work more useable... and make you look good too. I was glad Brian avoided the subject of mocking, as that warrants either a book section or an entire book and anything less would be unfulfilling and distracting.Really nice work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Solid pytest reference *by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2018* Mr. Okken, who I learned about through his Python Bytes webcast, did a nice job on this first edition of the book. It works well to use as a reference and dip into on occasion.5 stars if he would include more in two areas:1) best practices on organizing testing files and getting tests to run in a predetermined order (so that "basic" tests will be caught early in the test cycle)2) how to best integrate with buyilt in logging module. I discovered this by accident when I added logging that Pytest captures it for output. It would be nice to see his professional opinions on it --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/116202627-python-testing-with-pytest-simple-rapid-effective-and-scalable-1st](https://www.desertcart.be/products/116202627-python-testing-with-pytest-simple-rapid-effective-and-scalable-1st) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
