How does it handle external dependencies?

It provides advanced mocking patterns to isolate your code from external services, databases, and APIs, ensuring your tests are fast and deterministic.

Does this skill support asynchronous testing?

Yes, it includes specialized modules for testing asynchronous Python code using pytest-asyncio, including async fixtures and concurrent operation patterns.

What testing structure does this skill follow?

The skill promotes the AAA (Arrange-Act-Assert) pattern to ensure tests are clean, readable, and maintainable.

Can I use this for existing Python projects?

Absolutely. The skill provides patterns for test-refactoring, suite setup, and coverage configuration that can be applied to any existing Python codebase.
