I recently finished Effective Software Testing – A Developer’s Guide by Maurício Aniche , and I really liked it. I have been coding for a long time and I think I have been writing pretty good tests for the features I have implemented. Even so, I found this book quite valuable. Particularly the chapters on how to systematically come up with test cases based on the specification, inputs, outputs and the structure of the implementation.

Unfortunately, setting this up is not as straightforward as you might think. A nice way to manage installations of various versions of Python is to use pyenv. Although installing pyenv itself is trivial, you might run into some trouble later.
