Mashing Up Py.test, Coverage.py and Ast.py to Take TDD to a New Level

Explore an innovative technique for enhancing Test-Driven Development (TDD) in this conference talk from EuroPython 2015. Discover how to significantly reduce test suite execution time without compromising reliability by combining py.test, coverage.py, and ast.py. Learn about a py.test plugin called "testmon" that automatically selects only the tests affected by recent changes, addressing the frustration of long wait times during testing. Gain insights into how this approach can streamline the development process, improve productivity, and maintain the integrity of automated tests in Python projects.
