Pytest vs unittest?

[IvanaH8]

@nmarquesin @JamesSample what would you prefer to implement for testing? I have only used pytest so far but happy to look into unittest if that is preferred. Thanks :)

PyTest is fine by me :-)

I had only used PyTest before this week but now had a look at unittest and is also pretty ok to implement.

But regardless of which of the two libraries we choose, I am running into issues when implementing automated browser testing because of Streamlit current limitations.

I've tried using selenium by itself and with robot framework, because I saw someone suggesting it for Streamlit testing. The problem I'm stuck with is that I can't find a way to select the side bar generated by Streamlit, and therefore I cannot navigate the app programmatically to test its functionality.

Are we interested in running automated tests as well as unit tests? If so, would an "upgrade" to a django app be completely out of question for the final delivery?
