Episode description

We want to be able to run tests in a suite, and debug them in isolation, and have the behavior be the same.  
If the behavior is different in isolation vs in a suite, it's a nightmare to debug. 

In this episode, we'll talk about:

  • Causes of dependence
  • Testing for dependencies using plugins
  • Debugging test dependencies

Plugins discussed:

  • pytest-randomly
  • pytest-reverse
  • pytest-random-order



Help support the show AND learn pytest: 

  • The Complete pytest course is now a bundle, with each part available separately.
  • Whether you need to get started with pytest today, or want to power up your pytest skills, PythonTest has a course for you.
