Showcase this hands-on experience in an interview
If you have seen any of the news lately, it is not hard to imagine why software bugs cost the economy billions of dollars per year as well as costing lives. The ability to test your code (and other’s code) is probably one of the most important skills to know as a developer. Knowing how to track down and fix bugs is also critical. Testing can mean adding print statements to output data at certain points in a program to visually check it. Testing can also involve developing separate programs to test the functionality of the code itself. In this course, you will create a Python application that implements a new sorting algorithm. You will also create a test to sort the algorithm, and use debugging to find bugs in the code. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
Learners should be familiar with beginning Python and have some experience using an IDE such as Visual Studio.

TOP REVIEWS FROM TESTING AND DEBUGGING PYTHON
I joined this course because i was not getting the testing part from algorithmic toolbox course. This course was as i expected. I was able to grasp all the concepts taught in this course.
lovely tutorial. watch "bubble sort in 2 mintues" video in youtube b4 u watch 3rd vid of this project.
If the course was more long,it will be more beneficial for beginner learner in the field of testing
Full screen view may be provided. It is difficult to view the program in the Rhyme's split screen
