PyTest Notes

PyTest uses built-in assert statement to pass or fail tests
- boolean 
- typically used for comparisons

EX.
assert 2+2== 4  #true
assert 2+2=="4" #false

AssertionErrors raised, causes PyTest to report test failure 

Run tests in Terminal > Your folder:
    pytest
    pytest -v (-v & -vv flags for more verbose output)


************** OTHER Features *******************
Auto-discovery -- finds tests based on name 

Modular-fixtures -- used to manage test resources 

Run multiple tests in parallel, etc
