What testing framework does this skill focus on?

This skill focuses primarily on pytest, the industry standard for Python testing, but the underlying patterns like AAA and TDD are applicable to many frameworks.

Can I use this skill for testing async code?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for testing asynchronous functions and concurrent operations using pytest-asyncio and related tools.

How does this skill help with mocking external dependencies?

It provides detailed implementations for using unittest.mock, patch decorators, and monkeypatching to isolate code from external APIs and databases.

Does it support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to guide you through the Red-Green-Refactor cycle by providing structure for writing tests before implementation code.

セキュリティとテスト

Implement robust Python test suites using pytest, fixtures, mocking, and test-driven development best practices.

概要

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for implementing high-quality testing strategies in Python projects. It offers a library of proven patterns for the pytest ecosystem, ranging from basic unit tests to complex integration scenarios involving asynchronous code and external dependencies. By following the standardized Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA) pattern and utilizing advanced features like parameterized testing and modular fixtures, developers can create maintainable, efficient, and thorough test suites that improve code reliability and accelerate the development lifecycle.
