+Java and Python based test frameworks and libraries that support software
+integration testing with CrateDB.

+
+(python-pytest)=
+## Python pytest
+
+The popular [pytest] framework makes it easy to write small tests, but it
+also supports complex functional testing for applications and libraries.
+The [pytest-crate] package manages CrateDB instances for running integration
+tests against them.
+
+It is based on [cr8](#cr8) for the heavy lifting, and additionally provides
+the `crate`, `crate_execute`, and `crate_cursor` pytest fixtures for
+developer convenience.

+## Python unittest
+
+[cr8], a collection of tools for CrateDB developers, provides primitive
+elements to manage CrateDB single-node and multi-node instances through
+its [run-crate] subsystem, that can be used to create test layers for
+Python's built-in [unittest] framework.

+(testcontainers)=
+## Testcontainers
+
+[Testcontainers] is an open source framework for providing throwaway,
+lightweight instances of databases, message brokers, web browsers, or
+just about anything that can run in a Docker container.
+
+CrateDB provides Testcontainers implementations for both Java and Python.
