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.
