Multiplatform testing with Python

Abstract

Pareto Security is a suite of native apps that talk with a cloud-based dashboard. We use Python to drive tests across all of these areas, spinning up virtual machines, installing the app, asserting that it works. And to test the cloud-based dashboard, of course.

This talk will touch on common python testing tools such as pytest, how to use it efficiently, how to make tests as fast as possible. Then I'll show how to use Playwright to test that the sales page, the dashboard, the licensing engine work togethe
