What testing framework does this skill use?

This skill is designed to work with Pytest, mirroring the source layout and utilizing shared fixtures for maximum efficiency.

Does this skill help with slow ML tests?

Yes, it provides patterns for mock-based testing that allow you to verify network shapes and adapter logic without running real, time-consuming training sessions.

How does it handle permutation invariance in neural networks?

The skill includes specific IRT (Invariance/Equivariance) testing patterns that verify if permuting input data correctly affects (or doesn't affect) the output as intended.

Why is the conftest.py setup so critical for BayesFlow?

Keras 3 reads the KERAS_BACKEND environment variable only once during the first import. This skill ensures the backend is set before any imports occur, preventing accidental defaults to TensorFlow.

安全与测试

Standardizes and automates the creation of robust test suites for BayesFlow extension packages using Pytest and Keras 3.

The BayesFlow Testing skill provides specialized domain knowledge for developing high-quality tests for simulation-based inference frameworks. It enforces critical architectural patterns, such as the mandatory pre-import configuration of the Keras backend to prevent initialization failures. The skill guides developers through implementing shape verification for simulators, config roundtrip validation, and sophisticated invariance/equivariance testing for neural networks. By utilizing mock-based testing strategies included in this skill, developers can verify complex model logic and adapter pipelines without the overhead of full training cycles, leading to faster, more reliable CI/CD workflows.
