Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a set of best practices that helps developers to build more scalable software, and is used to increase the robustness of software by using automatic tests.
This book shows you how to apply TDD practices efficiently in Python projects. From Alessandro Molina, the Author of Modern Python Standard Library Cookbook
You’ll begin by learning about built-in unit tests and Mocks before covering rich frameworks like PyTest and web-based libraries such as WebTest and Robot, and understand how Python allows you to embrace all modern testing practices with ease. Moving on, you’ll find out how to design tests and balance them with new feature development and discover how to create a complete test suite with PyTest. The book helps you adopt a hands-on approach to implementing TDD and associated methodologies that will have you up and running and make you more productive in no time. With the help of step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, you’ll explore automatic tests and TDD best practices and get to grips with the methodologies and tools available in Python for creating effective and robust applications.

Crafting Test-Driven Software with Python provides an in-depth look at this important programming topic ... Overall, this is a superb tutorial for Python testing in general as well as TDD/BDD;
It's a great book. I can only compare this book to "Effective Python: 90 Specific Ways to Write Better Python". I thought I know Python well. Well, after reading this book, I realized that I was mistaken.
This is a good book by Alessandro Molina. He have used his 15+ years of experience to design and layout all the chapters of the book carefully.
