# Python Testing Patterns

Comprehensive guide to implementing robust testing strategies in Python using pytest, fixtures, mocking, parameterization, and test-driven development practices.

## Use this skill when

- Writing unit tests for Python code
- Setting up test suites and test infrastructure
- Implementing test-driven development (TDD)
- Creating integration tests for APIs and services
- Mocking external dependencies and services
- Testing async code and concurrent operations
- Setting up continuous testing in CI/CD
- Implementing property-based testing
- Testing database operations
- Debugging failing tests

## Do not use this skill when

- The task is unrelated to python testing patterns
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

## Instructions

- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.

## Resources

- `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.
