Python testing best practices using pytest including fixtures, parametrization, mocking, coverage analysis, async testing, and test organization. Use when writing or improving Python 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

> This skill provides comprehensive Python testing patterns using pytest as the primary testing framework.

## Testing Framework

Use **pytest** as the testing framework for its powerful features and clean syntax.

### Basic Test Structure

```python
def test_user_creation():
    """Test that a user can be created with valid data"""
    user = User(name="Alice", email="alice@example.com")

    assert user.name == "Alice"
    assert user.email == "alice@example.com"
    assert user.is_active is True
```

### Test Discovery

pytest automatically discovers tests following these conventions:
- Files: `test_*.py` or `*_test.py`
- Functions: `test_*`
- Classes: `Test*` (without `__init__`)
- Methods: `test_*`

## Fixtures

Fixtures provide reusable test setup and teardown:

```python
import pytest
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

@pytest.fixture
def db_session():
    """Provide a database session for tests"""
    engine = create_engine("sqlite:///:memory:")
    Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
    session = Session()

    # Setup
    Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

    yield session

    # Teardown
    session.close()
…
