Then you can import them into conftest.py and use them as you had before. You can achieve this in a few ways. I'll show you two that I'm familiar with. Before we begin, you'll notice that this file, conftest_start.py is nested under our test directory two levels deep. It's under chapter four, video two. This file is being shown for walkthrough purposes only. Normally, conftest.py should be located directly under the test folder. This gives other tests the ability to access its fixtures and functions directly. To achieve modularization, first, let's delete our fixtures from conftest.py. Make…
