Abstract
pytest is a framework written in Python that helps in creating and automating test cases. It is easy to learn and takes a lot of the work out of writing and managing test cases. In particular, only the logic for the test cases itself needs to be implemented. Unlike some other frameworks, there is no need to learn a large number of functions to set up test assertions; one is enough.

Notes
- 1.
If the number of values is huge, it is not a good idea to perform a check for all of them, since this often significantly increases the execution time of the unit tests, without providing any real added value. Especially here, it is recommended to use representatives from equivalence classes, which should drastically reduce the number of test cases. For details, refer to my book Der Weg zum Java-Profi [Ind20].
