Testing

Basically, a distinction is made between static and dynamic test procedures.

Static test procedures

are used to check the source code, although this is not executed. They are divided into

• reviews and

• static program analysis

  There are various Python packages that can help you with static code analysis, including flake8, Pysa and Wily.

Dynamic test procedures

are used to find errors when executing the source code. A distinction is made between whitebox and blackbox tests.
