Does it support different types of testing?

Yes, it provides organizational patterns and naming standards for unit tests (isolated), integration tests (external services), and end-to-end (E2E) workflow tests.

What is the recommended naming convention for unit tests?

The skill enforces the 'test__ __ ' format, such as 'test__batch_allocation__reduces_available_quantity', to ensure tests clearly communicate their purpose.

What are tautological tests and why are they avoided?

Tautological tests are tests that cannot fail, such as asserting that a mock returns what you just told it to. This skill identifies these patterns to prevent false confidence in the test suite.

How does this skill handle code coverage?

It sets specific benchmarks: 80% for new code, 95%+ for critical paths, and an overall project target of 70-80% to ensure meaningful safety nets.

Security & Testing

Enforces rigorous Python testing standards through behavioral patterns, naming conventions, and coverage benchmarks.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for writing meaningful, maintainable Python tests that focus on verifying behavior rather than implementation details. It establishes a standardized naming convention (test__what__expected), defines tiered coverage requirements, and includes logic to detect tautological tests that offer false confidence. It is an essential tool for developers and teams looking to move beyond surface-level testing to achieve production-grade software reliability and maintainable test suites.

Key Features

01Standardized naming convention (test__what__expected)

02Detection of tautological (meaningless) tests

030 GitHub stars

04Tiered code coverage requirements (up to 95% for critical paths)

05Behavioral testing pattern enforcement

06Organized test suite structure for Unit, Integration, and E2E layers

Use Cases

01Identifying and refactoring fragile implementation-based tests into robust behavioral tests

02Reviewing existing test suites to enforce strict code coverage and quality benchmarks

03Standardizing test naming and organization across a large Python codebase
