Waldkirch: Mandatory internship: Extension of a test framework for automated integration tests*

Winter Semester 2025/26 - Limited to 3-6 Months

To ensure consistently high quality with increasingly shorter development times, automated tests at all levels are essential. A widely used tool in this area is Pytest, which was originally developed for unit testing in Python. Due to its versatile extendability, its application goes far beyond unit tests. The goal of this thesis is to extend the existing Pytest-based test framework so that it also meets the special requirements of integration and system tests. This includes, among other things, dividing test cases into individual test steps and improving the verification of test conditions.
