tags: [python, testing, debugging, pytest]

Testing and debugging keep projects healthy. This post covers pytest basics,
using logging for observability, and pdb for interactive debugging.

Quick pytest example:

def add(a, b):
    return a + b

def test_add():
    assert add(2, 3) == 5

Run pytest -q to execute tests and prefer small, focused unit tests.
