What testing frameworks does this skill support?

While the provided examples use Python and Pytest, the strategies and logic for contract and integration testing are language-agnostic and applicable to any stack including Node.js, Go, or Java.

Does it support contract testing?

Absolutely. It provides strategies for both simple JSON Schema validation and more complex consumer-driven contract testing using tools like Pact.

Can this skill help with security testing?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for testing JWT authentication, role-based access control, token expiration, and unauthorized access attempts.

How does it help with the 'Testing Pyramid'?

It provides a specific API-focused pyramid model that emphasizes a high volume of unit and contract tests, moderate integration tests, and targeted performance and E2E tests.
