Pytest Fundamentals for Data Engineers: Testing Pipelines
This guide covers testing data pipelines with pytest, including the arrange-act-assert pattern, assertion basics, exception testing with pytest.raises, and mocking external dependencies. It emphasizes that testing verifies transformation correctness, not just pipeline execution. By the end, readers can write unit tests to catch regressions before production.

A solid practical intro, but experienced engineers may find it too basic; the real value is in the mocking and exception-handling sections.
