    You're great Corey. With use of simple code editor You can explain complicated things. No greenscreen, no slides, just calm and pure explanations. English is a foreign language to me, but Your videos are so understandable, that this is not a problem. Once again thank You very much.

You're amazing, Corey, and you did a wonderful job of very clearly explaining all of it. From where I sit, you created a masterpiece of art. It's simply amazing. Test-driven development, here I come.

    in my country, there's an old saying for people with good explanations, "they give you the soup straight to your mouth with a spoon.". This is what are you actually doing I mean a very simplified explanation that even a naive would understand. Thanks for the effort and time you put in those tutorials, I wouldn't have got any of this without them.

    I made my first python project without implementing a test. Judging from my experience it was really rough, It took me a lot of late night sleep just to see if a feature works the way I intended. Now I am learning testing and trying to apply it in my current project.
    I hope I had learn testing earlier, before proceeding to create my project.
    The video uses unit test, while mine was pytest, but hoping the concepts I learn here is same to be applied in pytest.
    Appreciate videos like these are created for free to everyone.

    Nice now i have a guy I can check out if I am so unfamiliar with a topic that i don't really understand pythons documentation. Piece of advice to everybody: Don't ever thing videos like this are more then a brief introduction into a topic. They are crazy helpful but all they really do is give you a less frustrating way to grasp the basics without being very annoyed by pythons very own documentation. And for gods sake start using the python help function :D

  • @garybloomlaw
    @garybloomlaw 4 года назад +6

    Fantastic videos. I would add that the test cases can be spread across multiple classes. This allows you to group tests together so that you can make good use of setUp() and setUpClass(). For example, if you have multiple tests that require a database, you could group all those tests into a single class and have the setUpClass() method prepare the db. Tests that don't involve the db would go into other test classes. The larger the overall project, the more test classes you are likely to have.

    "You don't have to be an expert at tests." True. I find that the most valuable test is the first one, because it gets the ball rolling and lets you have some idea that automated builds are running, not just "compi9ling."
