Thanks to <a href="https://www.starlette.io/testclient/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Starlette</a>, testing **FastAPI** applications is easy and enjoyable.

It is based on <a href="https://www.python-httpx.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">HTTPX</a>, which in turn is designed based on Requests, so it's very familiar and intuitive.

# Testing

Gracias a <a href="https://www.starlette.io/testclient/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Starlette</a>, escribir pruebas para aplicaciones de **FastAPI** es fácil y agradable.

Está basado en <a href="https://www.python-httpx.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">HTTPX</a>, que a su vez está diseñado basado en Requests, por lo que es muy familiar e intuitivo.

    We used to set this only for packages that had manual supersource. That
    worked everywhere that I know of except for one place: when running the GWT
    util.concurrent tests under Guava.

    The problem is that GWT responds poorly to two .gwt.xml files in the same
    Java package; see

# Testing Events: lifespan and startup - shutdown { #testing-events-lifespan-and-startup-shutdown }

When you need `lifespan` to run in your tests, you can use the `TestClient` with a `with` statement:
