This course aims to teach learners how to simplify and improve their tests by utilizing fixtures. The course covers the problems fixtures solve, their usage, and how they can enhance the testing process. Participants will learn how to create and use common abstractions to be shared among tests, manipulate paths in settings, and understand fixture dependencies. The teaching method includes examples, code demonstrations, and explanations in a notebook. This course is intended for individuals already familiar with pytest and testing but have little to no experience with fixtures.
