170: pytest for Data Science and Machine Learning - Prayson Daniel

Prayson Daniel, a principle data scientist, discusses testing machine learning pipelines with pytest.

Prayson is using pytest for some pretty cool stuff, including:

• unit tests, of course
• testing pipeline stages
• counterfactual testing
• performance testing

All with pytest. So cool.
