Testing: Choose Your Weapons
summary
Shows concrete testing choices and what actually worked: use Python's unittest plus Twisted's trial test runner waits on Deferreds and @inlineCallbacks so async functions assert normally; convert semi-automated GUI checks into keyboard-driven UI tests catch serious GUI bugs by sending keystrokes and verifying program state; adopt table-driven FIT/piFIT for business-facing examples; add a reversible round-trip translation property t(u(data)) == data that runs weekly against production snapshots and reliably surfaces omitted-field and schema-translation errors.
