At a Glance
Nose is a Python testing framework that simplifies writing and running tests for your code. In this hands-on guided project, you will learn how to use Nose to run automated unit tests in Python.
Companies large and small use Nose to run automated tests for Python applications and improve the quality and reliability of their software. Perfect for teams who follow the practices of Test Driven Development (TDD) or Behavior Driven Development (BDD), Nose’s simple and intuitive API makes this automation framework a valuable tool for Python developers and testers.
In this hands-on guided project, you will learn how to run unit tests using Python’s unittest package and Nose. You’ll also learn how to use Pinocchio to customize the colors of your output and add coverage reports. Finally, you will create a configuration file with Nose, allowing you to automate these processes in the future.
After completing this project, you will be prepared to work with Nose in your own Python projects to run automated unit tests.
