testing-python SKILL.md skillA

testing-python from qte77/claude-code-plugins is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add qte77/claude-code-plugins/testing-python@git:20260411.75d7792

Pins git:20260411.75d7792 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Writes tests following TDD Red-Green-Refactor (pytest + Hypothesis). Tests behavior, not implementation. Use when writing unit tests, integration tests, or property tests.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Python Testing

**Target**: $ARGUMENTS

Writes **focused, behavior-driven tests** following project testing strategy.

## Quick Reference

**TDD methodology** (language-agnostic): See `tdd-core` plugin (`testing-tdd` skill)

**Python-specific documentation**: `references/`

- `references/testing-strategy.md` - Python tools (pytest, Hypothesis, inline-snapshot)
- `references/tdd-best-practices.md` - Python TDD examples (extends tdd-core)

## Approach

**TDD only**: pytest for known cases, Hypothesis for edge cases, inline-snapshot for regression. Tests assert observable behavior — inputs produce expected outputs/side-effects. No Gherkin, no feature files, no step definitions.

See `references/testing-strategy.md` for tool selection guide.

## TDD Essentials (Quick Reference)

**Cycle**: RED (failing test) → GREEN (minimal pass) → REFACTOR (clean up)

**Structure**: Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA)

```python
def test_order_processor_calculates_total():
    # ARRANGE
    items = [Item(price=10.00, qty=2), Item(price=5.00, qty=1)]
    processor = OrderProcessor()

    # ACT
    total = processor.calculate_total(items)

    # ASSERT
    assert total == 25.00
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qte77/claude-code-plugins/testing-python@sha256:0be1d4d280ee2f9f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260411.75d7792, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
