Etymology

The term 'deftest' combines 'def' (short for define) and 'test', referring to the definition of a test function in programming. The use of 'deftest' is closely associated with the pytest testing framework, which originated in 2004. Pytest aimed to simplify the testing process in Python and make it more intuitive for developers. Over the years, it has gained widespread popularity in the software development community due to its ease of use and powerful features such as fixtures, parameterization, and plugins. The naming convention of 'deftest' is inspired by the common Python convention for defining functions, starting with 'def', thus allowing testers to easily recognize and identify test functions.
