I am looking for a good way to consistently test my web applications from the end users point of view. I have all kinds of ways to check to make sure my code is working behind the scenes.

How do I run all Python unit tests in a directory?

August 17, 2022 by Magenaut

I have a directory that contains my Python unit tests. Each unit test module is of the form test_*.py.
