Winter Semester 2025/26 - Limited to 3-6 Months


To ensure consistently high quality with increasingly shorter development times, automated tests at all levels are essential. A widely used tool in this area is Pytest, which was originally developed for unit testing in Python. Due to its versatile extendability, its application goes far beyond unit tests. The goal of this thesis is to extend the existing Pytest-based test framework so that it also meets the special requirements of integration and system tests. This includes, among other things, dividing test cases into individual test steps and improving the verification of test conditions.


YOUR TASKS:

  • Research and evaluate already available plugins.
  • Integrate the plugins into the test framework.
  • Test the functionality of the plugins.
  • Document the results of your work.

 

YOUR PROFILE:

  • You are studying (Technical) Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a comparable field.
  • You have programming knowledge in Python.
  • Ideally, you have some experience with Pytest and software testing in general.
  • You work independently and in a structured manner.
  • You have a quick grasp of new concepts.

 

YOUR APPLICATION:

  • We are looking forward to your online application
  • Sarah Disch
  • Job-ID 36790
