    236: Git Tips for Testing - Adam Johnson

    In this episode, host Brian Okken and guest Adam Johnson explore essential Git features, highlighted by Adam's updated book, "Boost Your Git DX."  Key topics include  "cherry picking" for selective commits"git stash" for managing in-progress work"git diff", and specifically its `--name-only` flag, which provides a streamlined method for developers to identify which files have changed, which can be used to determine which tests need to be run"git bisect" for efficiently pinpointing bugs. This conversation offers valuable strategies for developers at any skill level to enhance their Git proficiency and optimize their coding workflows.

    234: pytest-metadata - provides access to test session metadata

    pytest-metadata is described as a plugin for pytest that provides access to test session metadata. That is such a humble description for such a massively useful plugin. If you're already using pytest-html, you have pytest-metadata already installed, as pytest-metadata is one of the dependencies for pytest-html.However, pytest-metadata is very useful even on its own. Links: pytest-metadata - The plugin we're talking about in this episodepytest-base-url - Adds the base URL to the metadata.pytest-html - Displays the metadata at the start of each report. See S2:E6: pytest-html - a plugin that generates HTML reports for test resultspytest-reporter-html1 - Presents metadata as part of the report.pytest-selenium - Adds the driver, capabilities, and remote server to the metadata.If you've got other plugins that work well with pytest-metadata, please let me know.

    233: pytest-check - allow multiple failures per test

    pytest-check is a pytest plugin that allows multiple failures per test. Normally, a test function will fail and stop running with the first failed assert. That's totally fine for tons of kinds of software tests. However, there are times where you'd like to check more than one thing, and you'd really like to know the results of each check, even if one of them fails. pytest-check allows multiple failed "checks" per test function, so you can see the whole picture of what's going wrong.

    232: The role of AI in software testing - Anthony Shaw

    AI is helping people write code.  Tests are one of those things that some people don't like to write.    Can AI play a role in creating automated software tests?  Well, yes. But it's a nuanced yes.   Anthony Shaw comes on the show to discuss the topic and try to get AI to write some test for my very own cards project. We discuss: The promise of AI writing your tests for youDownsides to not writing tests yourselfBad ways to generate testsGood ways to ask AI for help in writing testsTricks to get better results while using copilot and other AI toolsLinks: The cards projectA video version of this discussion: Should AI write tests?
