This is a presentation/workshop on various testing technologies in Python. It's built using RISE, a jupyter notebook-based presentation system using reveal.js.

First you need to install the Python stuff (probably in a virtual environment):

pip install -r requirements.txt

After this install the RISE jupyter extensions. Note that you may need to reactivate your virtual environment for your shell to properly see the commands:

jupyter nbextension install rise --py --sys-prefix
jupyter nbextension enable rise --py --sys-prefix

If you want the slideshows to automatically run certain initialization cells (hint: you probably do) then you need to install the "initialization cells" extension from the Jupyter contrib extensions:

jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
jupyter nbextension enable init_cell/main

Get more info on these extensions at the project page.

NB: Running initialization cells requires that you "trust" the notebooks. You'll probably need to do this for each slideshow notebook for which you want initialization cells.

First start the notebook.

cd slides
jupyter notebook

This will open a browser window with a list of notebooks. The relevant notebooks are:

• unittest.ipynb
• mock.ipynb
• pytest.ipynb
• hypothesis.ipynb
• cosmic-ray.ipynb

Click on any of these to open them in your browser.

Then look for the icon in the notebook toolbar for running the presentation. (Hint: it looks a bit like a histogram.)

Prior to starting the notebook, you might want to run the script that prepares the slides for presentation, prep_slides.sh:

./prep_slides *.ipynb

This will execute all of the cells, clear the output, and "trust" the notebooks. This isn't strictly necessary, but it's a good way to start presentations from a known state.
