Try FastAPI Test Driven Development

FastAPI API Development with Test-Driven Development (TDD)

Learn to build secure and scalable APIs using FastAPI, a powerful Python framework, in this comprehensive course. This training focuses on Test-Driven Development (TDD), equipping you with the skills to create robust and well-tested APIs with confidence.

What You'll Learn:

• Development Environment Setup: Install and configure FastAPI, Docker, and essential Python libraries. Establish best practices for project structure and dependency management, including linting and formatting tools for clean code.
• Database Management with Docker & SQLAlchemy: Utilize Docker for simplified database deployment and containerization. Configure and manage PostgreSQL databases. Securely handle environment variables with Python-dotenv. Implement efficient database interactions using SQLAlchemy and streamline database changes with Alembic for migrations.
• Test-Driven Development (TDD) with Pytest: Understand the test database workflow for effective testing. Install and configure Pytest, the leading testing framework. Automate database creation/removal for streamlined testing. Use Pytest marks for organized test discovery.
• Database Build & Structural Testing: Gain a deep understanding of Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) for data modeling. Write detailed test plans for thorough structural testing of your database schema. Implement unit tests to validate table existence, columns, constraints, and relationships.
• FastAPI Endpoint Development & Unit Testing: Explore FastAPI error logging for debugging. Master Pydantic schemas for data validation and serialization/deserialization. Develop comprehensive unit tests for all API endpoint functionalities, including CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete). Learn to handle exceptions gracefully.
• FastAPI Endpoint Development & Integration Testing: Implement integration testing to verify API-database interactions. Set up a robust integration testing environment. Develop integration tests for CRUD operations on endpoints, adapting your testing strategy for future endpoints.
• Test Coverage & Manual Testing: Analyze code coverage to ensure thorough testing. Explore manual testing techniques using FastAPI documentation for additional validation.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Build production-ready, well-tested APIs with FastAPI.
• Implement TDD principles for clean, maintainable code.
• Effectively manage databases and data interactions within your APIs.
• Develop a robust testing strategy for API functionality and reliability.
