What is time-skipping in Temporal Python testing?

Time-skipping allows you to test workflows that wait for long periods (weeks or months) in a matter of seconds by advancing the test environment's internal clock.

How do I isolate workflow logic from external services?

This skill provides patterns for activity mocking, allowing you to replace external dependencies with controlled mocks during integration testing.

Can I use this with standard pytest suites?

Yes, the skill is built around pytest and provides async fixtures specifically designed to work with the Temporal Python SDK.

Why is replay testing important for Temporal?

Replay testing ensures that changes to your workflow code do not break determinism, which is essential for Temporal's ability to recover state after failures.
