In a recent episode, Eric Matthes discusses the strategic choices around testing code, emphasizing that not all projects should begin with unit tests. He points out that the nature of a project and its target audience should dictate the initial testing approach. While many developers default to unit tests, Matthes advocates for considering integration or end-to-end tests first, particularly in complex projects. The conversation also delves into practical examples, pytest applications, and criteria for deciding when to incorporate unit tests into a development workflow.
In testing, always starting with unit tests can be a hazard; the decision should depend on the project's type and audience to determine initial testing focus.
Eric elaborates further on using pytest for integration testing, emphasizing that the approach must be tailored to the specific demands of each project.
