Python Testing with pytest

What’s Next

An important point discussed in this chapter is the structure of Given-When-Then or Arrange-Act-Assert, which helps us focus on what we are testing with a test function. In the next chapter, you will learn about fixtures, which allow us to focus even more by pushing the “Given” or “Arrange” setup portion into a separate function. Pushing setup and teardown into fixtures is extremely powerful, as it allows for an elegant separation of complex system state and test code and keeps track of external resources.
