PyTest and Docker

Docker seems to be an essential part of testing work.

As a result, I have a section on Docker, with a sub section of Docker To Go, a range of ready made Docker set ups: Docker.

Docker and PyTest Full Stack

PyTest-Full-Stack has one example using pytest-docker.

Ensure docker desktop or equivalent is running! 😬

Located in tests/docker. My usual folder naming of 70_docker is unacceptable so I just use docker.

There is a YT video of this: pytest-docker.

Useful courses

I have done many trainings on Docker and I would say the best training is on my favourite platform Udemy: Docker Bootcamp: Conquer Docker with Real-World Projects

Sales every two weeks or so will mean you can get if for $20 USD or so.

What I really like about this course is it does not really go into theory but just builds a great number of microservices and connects them. Repetition makes it become part of the muscle and is probably what is needed for a Test Engineer.

There are other courses that go deeper and one that I find really good is: Python in Containers
