Python Testing Patterns

Comprehensive guide to implementing robust testing strategies in Python using pytest, fixtures, mocking, parameterization, and test-driven development practices.

Use this skill when

• Writing unit tests for Python code
• Setting up test suites and test infrastructure
• Implementing test-driven development (TDD)
• Creating integration tests for APIs and services
• Mocking external dependencies and services
• Testing async code and concurrent operations
• Setting up continuous testing in CI/CD
• Implementing property-based testing
• Testing database operations
• Debugging failing tests

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to python testing patterns
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

• resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
