# Introduction

Asynctest is a library which extends the standard pacakge `unittest` to support asyncio features.

This tutorial aims at gathering examples showing how to use `asynctest`. It is not a comprehensive documentation and doesn’t explain the concepts of `asyncio`.

Some basic patterns of `unittest` are covered. However, if you are not familiar with `unittest`, it’s probably a good idea to read its documentation first.

Note

This documentation has not yet been reviewed. The code samples and examples have been tested by the author but probably deserve (at least) a second look.

This tutorial can be improved and probably contains mistakes, typos and incorrect sentences. It can be considered as an “early release”. We invite you to open issues or pull-requests on Github.
