Testing Containers with Python and pytest
Dan Čermák
Dan joined SUSE to work on development tools as part of the developer engagement program, after working on embedded devices. He is an active open source contributor being involved in various upstream projects and a package maintainer in downstream Linux distributions, like openSUSE and Fedora. Beside testing and cryptography his passions include automating everything, documentation and software design.

To ease the pain of testing container images, we’ve developed the pytest_container plugin for pytest. The plugin
makes it possible to use pytest to perform tests on containers and software inside containers. You don’t have to take care of pulling images, building
them, or picking ports on the host. You just describe your container setup and pass it to a test function. In return, the plugin gives you a connection
to the container. Using the connection, you can verify the container’s state using the testinfra python framework.
The plugin even cleans up after itself when you’re done.
In short, pytest_container makes it possible to write tests in Python: no need to build your own framework from scratch or worry about the boring
container plumbing tasks.
