Does it cover testing for asynchronous Python code?

Yes, it includes specific patterns and best practices for testing async functions and concurrent operations using pytest-asyncio and related utilities.

Can this skill help with legacy codebases?

Absolutely. It provides strategies for isolating dependencies and mocking external services, which are crucial when adding tests to existing or legacy Python applications.

What testing frameworks does this skill support?

The skill focuses primarily on pytest, the industry-standard testing framework for Python, but also includes patterns for unittest.mock and integration with various CI/CD tools.

Is property-based testing included?

Yes, the skill provides guidance on implementing property-based testing to automatically identify edge cases that standard unit tests might miss.

安全与测试

Implement robust Python testing strategies using pytest, fixtures, and advanced mocking techniques.

关于

This skill provides a comprehensive knowledge base for implementing high-quality testing in Python projects. It covers the full testing lifecycle, from basic unit tests using the AAA (Arrange, Act, Assert) pattern to advanced concepts like asynchronous testing, property-based testing, and complex dependency mocking. Whether you are setting up a new test suite, implementing Test-Driven Development (TDD), or debugging flaky tests in a CI/CD pipeline, this skill ensures your Python code is reliable, maintainable, and thoroughly verified according to industry best practices.
