Testing Your Python Code
summary
Shows concrete unit and integration examples that run without hardware: a regex validator for router names, a mocked netmiko SSH connector that asserts connect called with specific args, and an HTTP GET tested with requests-mock and a pytest fixture returning saved JSON. Uses pytest, unittest.mock autospec, netmiko, betamax, hypothesis and coverage. Presents templates for per-test setup/teardown and class-level integration setup/teardown, demonstrates tests passing and snapshots created/restored so workflows are verifiable without touching production.
