Explore tox, an open-source tool designed to standardize testing in Python, in this 40-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2018. Dive into the complexities of testing beyond unit and integration tests, including code style checks, packaging, multi-version Python testing, and documentation generation. Learn how tox abstracts away these complexities, enabling local CI test runs and ensuring high-quality, maintainable packages. Discover the tool's workflow, configuration, and use cases, covering topics such as environment creation, dependency installation, and CI integration. Gain insights into tox's strengths, plugins, and its role in managing developer environments and multiple Python versions.
