astro dev pytest
Run unit tests for your data pipelines on Astro with pytest, a testing framework for Python. When you run this command, the Astro CLI creates a local Python environment that includes your DAG code, dependencies, and Astro Runtime Docker image. The CLI then runs any pytests in the tests directory of your Astro project and shows you the results of those tests in your terminal.
