Does this skill support asynchronous Python code?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for testing async functions using pytest-asyncio, including async fixtures and mocking awaited calls.

Can I use this for integration testing as well as unit testing?

Absolutely. It provides strategies for both unit and integration tests, including the use of custom markers to separate and filter test execution.

How does it help with Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

The skill enforces the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, guiding you to write failing tests first, followed by the minimal implementation, and finally code cleanup.

Does it include mocking for external services or files?

Yes, it provides detailed patterns for using unittest.mock to patch functions, classes, and even file system operations using tmp_path and mock_open.
