  3. Continuous Integration with automated tests
  4. Unit Test Assistants (UTAs) for smarter testing
  1. Intro to security testing & common web app issues
  2. Using tools like Bandit for static analysis
  3. Designing continuous testing pipelines in CI/CD
  4. Managing test environments and test selection strategies

Experience a balanced mix of theory, live demonstrations and practical exercises.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of operations-driven development and its integration into the software lifecycle.

Learn best practices for creating interfaces like CLIs and APIs in Python, as well as techniques for packaging, containerizing, and orchestrating Python applications.

Understand how to implement robust CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment, and tools and strategies for log management, task scheduling, and operations automation.

In this Test Driven Python Training, you will learn …

… how to build robust Python applications using a test-first mindset. The course covers unit, integration, and functional testing using pytest and unittest, mocking strategies, test automation, and how to apply TDD in real-world scenarios. You’ll also explore how testing supports better design and cleaner code.
Perfect for developers who want to reduce bugs, ship faster, and increase their confidence in every line of code.

Practical Applications That We Will Cover in the Training:

  • 1

    Hands-on experience with interface creation, software packaging, application containerization, and CI/CD pipeline management.

  • 2

    Knowledge of implementing observability, log management, task scheduling, and operations automation using various tools.

  • 3

    Understanding of how to design operationally excellent Python applications that enhance efficiency and quality.

After The Course, You Will Be Able To:

  • 1
    Design, implement, and manage interfaces, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization strategies for Python applications.
  • 2
    Implement observability, log management, and task scheduling effectively using various tools.
  • 3
    Use cutting-edge tools for monitoring and optimizing Python applications in real-time.
  • 4
    Bridge the gap between development and operations by mastering operations-driven development techniques.

The Test Driven Python Training is perfect for you if…

  • You have a basic Phython knowledge

  • Your arelooking to integrate advanced testing methodologies like TDD, BDD, and performance testing into your workflow.

  • You want to make your applications more resilient and efficient

The Test Driven Python training is not suitable for you if…

  • You are a beginner in programming and do not have basic Python knowledge.
  • You are looking for an introductory course on Python development or DevOps.
  • You prefer a focus on machine learning models rather than operations-driven development.

A1 Telekom Austria AG

„UTA coached my team along the development process of the migration plan of our on-premises data lake to the public cloud.

The outstanding level of expertise, both on a technical and organizational level, ensured a well-structured and realistic migration plan including timeline, milestones, and efforts.

The enablement of my team was at the center of a very smooth collaboration. Through UTA, we achieved our goal faster and reduced risks of the migration project significantly.

I highly recommend UTA’s services!“

„I recently attended Vattenfall IT’s online Kafka training day hosted by Ultra Tendency, and it was an enriching experience.

The trainer, Ahmed, did a fantastic job explaining the theory behind Kafka, and the emphasis on practical application was great. The hands-on programming exercises were particularly helpful, and I’ve never experienced training with so many interactive examples!

Overall, I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to improve their Kafka knowledge interactively and gain valuable skills.”

„The training Introduction to the Cloud with AWS and Azure impressed us! We particularly appreciated the excellent overview of the topics, the hands-on exercises, and the extensive practical activities that made the learned concepts directly applicable.

The content was well-structured, and the combination of theory and practical applications was ideal for our needs. The opportunity to clarify specific questions in the Q&A sessions was also extremely valuable. Overall, the training deepened our understanding of cloud computing and provided us with insights into the differences and strengths of AWS and Azure.

We now feel better prepared to make strategic decisions for our cloud strategy. Thank you for this excellent training!“
