Assertions — Python: Automated testing

Each check we have written for the capitalize() function is commonly referred to in testing as a statement. We'll learn more about this concept in this lesson.

What is a statement

Assertions are an integral part of tests. They are the ones that check the functionality of your code:

from capitalize import capitalize

if capitalize('hello') != 'Hello':
    raise Exception('The function is not working correctly!')

if capitalize('') != '':
    raise Exception('The function is not working correctly!')
