Can I use this for integration testing or only unit tests?

The skill provides patterns for both isolated unit tests and broader integration tests involving databases, APIs, and file systems.

Does it follow the AAA (Arrange-Act-Assert) pattern?

Yes, all provided testing patterns are structured according to the AAA industry standard for maximum readability and maintainability.

How does it handle mocking external services?

It utilizes unittest.mock and monkeypatch patterns to safely simulate external dependencies, ensuring your tests don't rely on live network calls.

Does this skill support asynchronous Python testing?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for testing async code using pytest-asyncio and strategies for handling concurrent operations.
