Entry Level Python: Building your first application
In this three hour session, you’ll be introduced to the incredibly popular, general purpose programming language Python by creating a simple real world application.
Unit testing is a fundamental practice in software development that offers numerous benefits to both individual developers and development teams. By writing and maintaining a comprehensive suite of unit tests, engineers can catch bugs early in the development process, reducing the cost and time required for fixes. These tests serve as a safety net, allowing developers to refactor code with confidence, knowing that unintended side effects will be caught quickly.
Unit tests also act as living documentation, clearly demonstrating how code is intended to function. This improves code maintainability and makes it easier for new team members to understand existing systems. Furthermore, the process of writing unit tests often leads to better code design, as it encourages developers to create more modular, loosely coupled components.
Ultimately, unit testing contributes to higher code quality, increased developer productivity, and more reliable software products.
