This episode is a replay of a 2021 interview I did with Michael Foord.
We lost Michael in January, and I'd like to revisit this interview as a tribute.

Michael Foord was a pivotal figure in the Python community and the creator of the mock library that's now unittest.mock.
But he did so much more as well.
His contributions continue to resonate within the developer community.
This interview is just a small peek at his influence.

In this episode

Introduction to Michael Foord
The Mock Library Origins
Mocking and Testing Philosophy
Career Path and Consulting
Understanding Mocking
The Power of Patch
Testing Strategies and Design
Mocking External Dependencies
Teaching Testing and Mocking

python.org has put up an "In memoriam" page for Michael Foord, and many people have shared stories and memories.

234: pytest-metadata - provides access to test session metadata 8:15

לפני 11 weeks8:15

8:15

pytest-metadata is described as a plugin for pytest that provides access to test session metadata. That is such a humble description for such a massively useful plugin. If you're already using pytest-html, you have pytest-metadata already installed, as pytest-metadata is one of the dependencies for pytest-html. However, pytest-metadata is very useful even on its own. Links: pytest-metadata - The plugin we're talking about in this episode pytest-base-url - Adds the base URL to the metadata. pytest-html - Displays the metadata at the start of each report. See S2:E6: pytest-html - a plugin that generates HTML reports for test results pytest-reporter-html1 - Presents metadata as part of the report. pytest-selenium - Adds the driver, capabilities, and remote server to the metadata. If you've got other plugins that work well with pytest-metadata, please let me know . Sponsored by: Porkbun -- named the #1 domain registrar by USA Today from 2023 to 2025!

233: pytest-check - allow multiple failures per test 9:56

לפני 11 weeks9:56

9:56

pytest-check is a pytest plugin that allows multiple failures per test. Normally, a test function will fail and stop running with the first failed assert. That's totally fine for tons of kinds of software tests. However, there are times where you'd like to check more than one thing, and you'd really like to know the results of each check, even if one of them fails. pytest-check allows multiple failed "checks" per test function, so you can see the whole picture of what's going wrong.

232: The role of AI in software testing - Anthony Shaw 58:07

AI is helping people write code. Tests are one of those things that some people don't like to write. Can AI play a role in creating automated software tests? Well, yes. But it's a nuanced yes. Anthony Shaw comes on the show to discuss the topic and try to get AI to write some test for my very own cards project. We discuss: The promise of AI writing your tests for you Downsides to not writing tests yourself Bad ways to generate tests Good ways to ask AI for help in writing tests Tricks to get better results while using copilot and other AI tools Links: The cards project A video version of this discussion: Should AI write tests?

We've got some code we want to test, and some tests. The tests need to be able to import the code under test, or at least the API to it, in order to run tests against it. How do we do that? How do we set things up so that our tests can import our code? In this episode, we discuss two options: Installing the code under test as a pip installable package with `pip install -e /path/to/local/package`. Using the pythonpath pytest setting .

220: Getting the most out of PyCon, including juggling - Rob Ludwick 41:09

PyCon US is just around the corner. I've asked Rob Ludwick to come on the show to discuss how to get the most out of your PyCon experience. There's a lot to do. A lot of activities to juggle, including actual juggling, which is where we start the conversation. Even if you never get a chance to go to PyCon, I hope this interview helps you get a feel for the welcoming aspect of the Python community. I recorded this interview as an episode for one of my other podcasts, Python People. But I think it's got some great pre-conference advice, so I'm sharing it here on Python Test as well. We talk about: - Juggling at PyCon - How to get the most out of PyCon - Watching talks - Hallway track - Open spaces - Lightening talks - Expo hall / vendor space - Poster sessions - Job fair - A welcoming community - Tutorials - Sprints - But mostly about the people of Python and PyCon.
