Pesto

🚧 Under Development 🚧

A lightweight, fun-to-use Python testing framework made to use like the popular JS Jest library.

Why?

Coming back to software development after being a front-end engineer opened my eyes on how verbose and anti-user-friendly Python testing really is - in my opinion.

I want to enjoy writing tests as much as I loved them with my front-end stack, so I decided to create a little testing framework to mimic that behavior, while still being a robust testing tool.

Get Started

The CLI is very similar to PyTest. Simply give the directory of the tests as the first argument (or ./ is used by default.)

A drag and drop replacement for PyTest

Pesto looks for test files and functions with _test or test_ in the name.

pip install pesto
pesto <test-dir>

Development

I'm still a novice when it comes to testing, so the capabilities of this library will grow as I grow as a developer

Todo
