Abstract
Why is unit testing important? We'll consider this from the perspective of a grad student starting a research project, a postdoc scrambling to publish papers, a researcher starting a collaboration, and a professor leading a group of students and postdocs. (15 min)

Where can you find good, reliable information on unit testing? The internet is filled with content from others who have devoted their careers to this topic. We'll show you where we think are the best places to get more information. (5 min)

How does unit testing work? We'll give a concrete demonstration of unit testing in Python with pytest. Again, others have done this better, but seeing it in action may help you get a jump on using it yourself. (10 min)
