Pytest is a modern, popular Python testing framework used to write and run automated tests for Python code. It makes testing simple and scalable, allowing you to create clear tests with minimal boilerplate while supporting advanced features such as fixtures, parameterisation, and mocking. Pytest helps developers catch bugs early and refactor code with confidence by making automated testing simple and efficient.
