The video concludes with a demonstration of writing and executing tests in a Flask application.

Why is testing considered crucial in software development?

• It eliminates the need for debugging.

• It speeds up the development process.

• It ensures the application logic is correct and provides instant feedback.

• It helps in reducing the cost of development.

Which type of testing focuses on testing individual components of the software?

• Acceptance Testing

• Unit Testing

• Functional Testing

• Integration Testing

What is the primary focus of integration testing?

• Checking the performance of the application

• Ensuring the application meets customer requirements

• Validating how different parts of the system work together

• Testing the user interface

What is the purpose of the 'setUp' and 'tearDown' methods in unit testing?

• To log the results of the tests

• To deploy the application for testing

• To compile and execute the test code

• To initialize and clean up resources before and after each test

In Flask testing, what does the 'test client' method return?
