5. Running Tests - PyRIT Documentation

Testing plays a crucial role in PyRIT development. Ensuring robust tests in PyRIT is crucial for verifying that functionalities are implemented correctly and for preventing unintended alterations to these functionalities when changes are made to PyRIT.

For running PyRIT tests, you need to have pytest package installed, but if you’ve already set up your development dependencies with the command pip install -e .[dev], pytest should be included in that setup.

Running PyRIT test files¶

PyRIT test files can be run using pytest.

You can invoke pytest if it’s in your path or via python; either pytest or python -m pytest. For the following examples, we will use pytest.
To run all tests (both unit and integration), you can pass a directory:
```
pytest tests
```
To run all unit tests you also can pass the unit test directory:
```
pytest tests/unit
```
To run tests from a specific file (e.g. test_aml_online_endpoint.py), from the PyRIT directory, use:
```
pytest tests\test_aml_online_endpoint_chat.py
```
To execute a specific test (test_get_headers_with_empty_api_key) within the test module(test_aml_online_endpoint.py),
```
pytest tests\test_aml_online_endpoint_chat.py::test_get_headers_with_empty_api_key
```
