Type: Talk

Abstract: In my talk I will introduce a new pytest plugin with which it is very easy (even for non-technical) go to create and run new integration testing at any level of IOT complex systems.

pytest-play is a pytest plugin that allows you to play a JSON file that describes some actions and assertions. We can use actions like: 
- Selenium, driving the browser for the UI test 
- MQTT messages, simulating a device 
- API calls 
- queries to Cassandra or PostgresSQL (in the future) 
- custom commands, thanks to the pluggable architecture 
Other advantages: 
- UI tests more reliable with implicit waits before interacting with the elements 
- BDD support to make the scenario more legible 
- reusability of steps

I will show you how easy it is to create a json and execute it on the fly on a Continuous Integration system. So let's start having fun in testing with pytest-play.
