[CentralOH] pytest books

[C.W. Andrews]

Damien,

I guess I think that there are a lot of ways for a book to be good; I don't
have a set rubric.

That being said, here are some reasons I thought it was good (from what I
remember):

1. It was well written and approachable.
2. While not being exhaustive, it conveyed value in a number of different
areas (basics, parameterizing tests, fixtures, extensions - even writing
your own, etc.)
3. It is one of those books that I can and actually do use for reference
and many if not all chapters can be read on their own and still stand-up,
especially if you just need a refresher or an answer for a specific area.

Additionally, I have looked for books on pytest and this is the only one
that seems to have a printed edition and is specifically for pytest and not
just testing in Python.

Those are my thoughts at least.

Thanks,
Chris
