  "description": "When you think about Python+testing, you usually think about testing\nyour code - unittests, mostly. But it is not the only case! When you\nhave a big system, you need to test it on much higher level - if only to\ncheck if all the components are wired in the right way. You may do it\nmanually, but it is tedious and time-consuming - so you want to automate\nit. And here comes Python - the language of choice in many QA\ndepartments.\n\nI will tell about differences between unittesting and system testing\nwhich result in totally different requirements on test\nmanagement/running systems. I will tell how we use Python (and a little\nwhy) to automate our work. Finally, I will tell a little about my \"idee\nfixe\" - a framework for system testing written in Python.\n",
