Visual Testing with PyCharm and pytest
summary
Uses PyCharm with pytest to make TDD practical: a small "cards" CLI project on GitHub, 40 tests running in under a second, and a workflow that runs subsets, marks smoke tests, and shows auto-run feedback. Demos include fixtures and parameterization, running or debugging a single failing test, stepping into code, and a tracer‑bullet that exercises a not‑yet‑implemented get operation; the debugger successfully hits breakpoints but the onstage fix remains incomplete. Configuration notes and slides are linked from the uploader.
