What testing framework does this skill focus on?

This skill is built around pytest, the industry-standard testing framework for Python, utilizing its powerful fixtures and marking systems.

Does it support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Yes, it provides specific guidance for the Red-Green-Refactor cycle to ensure code is reliable and testable from the very first line.

Can I use this for testing databases and APIs?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for using mocks, patches, and scoped fixtures to safely simulate database connections and external API calls.

How does it handle asynchronous Python code?

The skill includes specialized patterns for pytest-asyncio, allowing you to effectively test async functions and manage asynchronous fixtures.
