Setting up Pytest

Testing your Python code is an essential part of the development process, and Pytest is a powerful tool for actualizing a robust testing environment. In this section, we’ll walk you through the steps of setting up Pytest and transforming your Python code testing experience from amateur into pro, providing advanced features and capabilities that make testing faster, easier, and more effective.

To set up Pytest, you can follow these steps:

1. Installing pip: You can install Pytest using pip, the package installer for Python. Open your Terminal or command prompt in the bizza/backend/ project directory and run the following command:

   pip install pytest

   The preceding line installs Pytest and all its dependencies.

2. Creating a test file: Create a new file named test_addition.py in your project directory – that is, bizza/backend/tests/test_addition.py. This is a simple example test file to warm up with.
3. Writing a test function: Inside test_addition...
