When writing tests in Python, it’s common to have multiple test methods in one test class that test different functionalities(methods) of a class. This practice can lead to several issues, such as long and unreadable test classes, difficulty in debugging, and a lack of clarity in what each test is testing.
In this article, we will explore why having one test class per method in Python is a better practice and how it can improve the quality of your tests.
