Hi everyone! Im trying to learn python and getting my hands dirty with 
pyramid.

I would really appreciate it if there is anyone willing to give me a 
kickstart on how to do functional test?
Lets say I posted a data to a url and I want to test that the data has been 
saved to the persistent store or fake store.
How should I do it?

I have this test class:

class TestCatalogView:
    def test_it_loads_catalog_add_page(self, testapp):
        testapp.get('/catalog/add', status=200)

    def test_it_adds_the_course_on_the_catalog(self, testapp):
        response = testapp.post('/catalog/add', status='30*')
        assert 'Course has been added' in response.body

        # here I want to assert that the data has been persisted


the testapp is a fixture with the following details:

@fixture(scope='session')
def pyramid_test_setup():
    yield testing.setUp()
    testing.tearDown()


@fixture(scope='session')
def testapp(pyramid_test_setup):
    from tgpweb import main
    from pyramid.paster import get_appsettings
    settings = get_appsettings('testing.ini', 'main')
    app = main(global_config=None, **settings)
    return webtest.TestApp(app)



What are the things needed to test this? Im thinking of making a Repository 
Class which uses SqlAlchemy, and another one as Fake repository so that in 
case I dont want to hit a real database I can swap the implementation


If Im doing it wrong please guide me on how to make it right. maybe I have 
the wrong mindset in testing.


Thank you in advance!
