+
+Is your tool hard to debug? Is it easier if you check it at the DB level? 
+
+This module is for you! **dbtests** is a Python tool for conducting database tests. It is a unittest wrapper focussed on making DB integrity tests.
+As it is an extension over the `unittest.TestCase` it is easy to configure and easy to integrate with GitHub actions.
+
+
+
+## Features
+
+- It has an integrated connection to a Postgres Database: easily configurable using the `.env` file.
+- Fully compatible with `SQLAlchemy` and `Pandas`: get a `panda.Dataframe` out of any SQL query you want to test.
+- Unit-test oriented: Check if the `panda.Dataframe` output matches the expected values, or catch it when the test fails.
+
+## Installation
+
+You can install **dbtests** using pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install dbtests
+```
+
+## Usage
+Here's how you can use dbtests in your projects:
+
+1. Create a `./test` folder as with any other kind of `unittests` (it is in fact compatible with other `unittests` just make there is a connection to a Postgres DB), and create a `test-file`.
+```shell
+my-tool/
+├── my-tool/
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   ├── script_1.py
+└── tests/
+    ├── __init__.py
+    └── test_script_1.py
+```
+
+2. Once the script is created, we need to import the dependencies:
+```python
+# test_script_1.py
+# Dependencies
+import unittest
+from dbtest.unittest import DBintegrityTest
+```
+
+3. Create a `DBintegrityTest` as if it was a `unittest.TestCase`. It is important to define the path to the `.env` that keeps the Postgres DB credentials:
+```python
+class TestDBTestModule(DBintegrityTest):
+    db_config_file = '.env'
+```
+
+4. Create as many `test` functions as pleased:
+```python
+    def test_not_null_items_in_column(self):
+        # the query that SHOULDN'T create an assertion
+        sql_query = """
+        SELECT 
+            id
+        FROM test_table;        
+        """
+        df = self.db.get_df_from_sql_query(sql_query)
+        self.assertNotNullItemsInColumn(df, 'id')
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    unittest.main()
+```
+
+5. Run it as you please:
+```shell
+python -m unittest tests/test_script_1.py
+```
+
+The tests can be run locally or integrated with Github Actions. 
+For more examples, please check:
+- [Github Action example](./.github/workflows/module_tests.yml)
+- [Test example](./tests/module.py)
+
+## Custom Assert 
+The **dbtest** module contemplates new assert functions over `panda.Dataframe` objects. 
+This way the result of a simple query can be easily checked with the standard `unittest` nomenclature.
+
+The list of current Asserts is the following:
+- assertNotNullItemsInColumn(self, df, column)
+- assertCustomNullItemsInColumn(self, df, column, target)
+- assertNoRows(self, df)
+- assertNRows(self, df, target_rows)
+
+There will be more to come (under demand most probably). Feel free to suggest new ones though!
