What tools are used for code coverage?

The skill provides guidance on using pytest-cov to measure and report code coverage, aiming for a target of 80% or higher for critical paths.

Can I test asynchronous Python code with this skill?

Yes, it includes specific patterns and best practices for using pytest-asyncio to handle async functions and asynchronous fixtures.

How does it handle setup and teardown for tests?

It leverages pytest fixtures with function, module, and session scopes, including yield statements for clean resource management and teardown.

Does it support mocking external APIs?

Absolutely. The skill provides detailed implementation patterns for using unittest.mock to patch external calls, database connections, and side effects.

How does this skill help with Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

It guides the user through the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, ensuring that tests are written before implementation code to guarantee requirements are met.

安全与测试

Implements comprehensive Python testing strategies using pytest, TDD methodologies, and advanced mocking patterns.

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge to design, implement, and optimize Python test suites. It focuses on the Test-Driven Development (TDD) lifecycle—Red, Green, Refactor—while providing deep expertise in pytest features like fixtures, parametrization, and markers. Whether you are building a new codebase from scratch or improving the coverage of existing applications, this skill ensures best practices for unit testing, integration testing, and complex scenario mocking, including asynchronous code and exception handling.
