  • How to test your AWS KMS code using Moto and Pytest

    Introduction

    AWS’ Boto library is used commonly to integrate Python applications with various AWS services. I have generally avoided writing unit-tests for application code that interacts with the boto library because of the complexity involved in mocking and testing these functions.

    However, I recently tried out the Moto library which makes it easy to mock AWS services and test code that interacts with AWS.

    Some of the benefits of using Moto:

    • Testing code that interacts with AWS. Instead of having to test your code in an AWS environment, test AWS interactions locally.
    • Easy to learn and get started with.
    • Extensive coverage of AWS services.

    In this article, we will look at how to add unit tests for AWS KMS using Moto.
