Python Test

A listener requested that I start covering some terminology.
I think it's a great idea...

I talk with Michael about:

• Episodes of his show having to do with testing.
• His transition from employee to podcast host and online training entrepreneur.
• His Python training courses.
• The Pyramid Web framework...

Interview with Robert Collins, current core maintainer of Python's unittest module...

In this episode, I interview with Joe Stump, cofounder of Sprintly (https://sprint.ly), to give the startup perspective to development and testing.

Joe has spent his career in startups.
He's also been involved with hiring and talent acquisition for several startups.

We talk about testing, continuous integration, code reviews, deployment, tolerance to defects, and how some of those differ between large companies and small companies and startups...

I just want to discuss the reasons behind this change, and take a peek at what's coming up in the future for this podcast.

In this episode I interview Ned Batchelder.

I know that coverage.py is very important to a lot of people to understand how much of their code is being covered by their test suites.
Since I'm far from an expert on coverage, I asked Ned to discuss it on the show.

I'm also quite a fan of Ned's 2014 PyCon talk "Getting Started Testing", so I definitely asked him about that.

We also discuss edX, Python user groups, PyCon talks, and more...
