Today I'm going to discuss a completely new idea for many users (especially for pythonists): integrating tests into your application.
So let's get started.
Current status
Today, the problem of interconnection of source code and tests is such that you send the source code to the users of your library and most often do not include your tests in it at all.

That being said, the use cases are really extremely varied! As I've demonstrated, they can range from web application platforms to architecture tools and (near-) math libraries.
I would like to see more of these tools in the future! Hopefully I was able to talk about the possible benefits for current and future library authors.
