Description

Python is one of the most commonly used programming languages in the world. Due to the flexibility of the language it is used for a wide range of use cases such as: web application development, data science, machine learning, video games, etc.

There are many ways for software to break or exhibit unexpected behaviors. Creating reliable software is a non-trivial endeavor. Trusting software to behave correctly introduces risk. That risk is mitigated by software testing.
