Testing¶
Basically, a distinction is made between static and dynamic test procedures.
- Static test procedures¶
are used to check the source code, but it’s not executed. They are divided into
- Dynamic testing¶
are used to find errors when executing the source code. A distinction is made between whitebox and backbox tests.
- Whitebox tests
are developed with knowledge of the source code and the software structure. In Python, various modules are available:
- Blackbox tests
are developed without knowledge of the source code. In addition to Unittest, Hypothesis can also be used in Python for such tests.
