About testing-patterns
testing-patterns is a skill for developers writing maintainable tests. It covers test organization, mocking, fixtures, integration tests, and coverage targets.
Key features
- 01AAA test structure
- 02Mocking external services
- 03Fixtures and factories
- 04Integration test patterns
- 05Coverage targets
Use cases
- 01Structuring unit tests
- 02Mocking email or other services
- 03Creating reusable test data
- 04Selecting test coverage goals

From the project READMETesting Patterns
Write effective, maintainable tests using modern patterns.
Test Structure (AAA Pattern)
def test_user_registration():
# Arrange
user_data = {"email": "[email protected]", "password": "secure123"}
# Act
result = register_user(user_data)
# Assert
assert result.success is True
assert result.user.email == "[email protected]"
Mocking External Services
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch
@patch('services.email.send_email')
def test_sends_welcome_email(mock_send):
mock_send.return_value = True
register_user({"email": "[email protected]"})
mock_send.assert_called_once_with(
to="[email protected]",
template="welcome"
)
Fixtures and Factories
import pytest
from factories import UserFactory
@pytest.fixture
def user():
return UserFactory.create(role="admin")
@pytest.fixture
def authenticated_client(user):
client = TestClient(app)
client.login(user)
return client
def test_admin_dashboard(authenticated_client):
response = authenticated_client.get("/admin")
assert response.status_code == 200
Integration Tests
@pytest.mark.integration
def test_full_checkout_flow(db_session, stripe_mock):
# Create test data
user = create_user()
product = create_product(price=100)
# Execute flow
cart = add_to_cart(user, product)
order = checkout(cart, payment_method="card")
# Verify
assert order.status == "completed"
assert stripe_mock.charges.create.called
Test Coverage Goals
- Unit tests: 80%+ coverage
- Integration tests: Critical paths
- E2E tests: Happy paths only
