Which test runner does this skill support?

This skill is built exclusively for pytest, favoring its native features over legacy frameworks like unittest or nose.

How does it handle external API dependencies in tests?

It provides standardized patterns using respx for httpx and aioresponses for aiohttp to mock external HTTP interactions effectively.

Does it support testing for asynchronous Python code?

Yes, it fully supports async testing using pytest-asyncio and provides specific patterns for mocking async functions and external service calls.

Can I use this to generate coverage reports?

Absolutely. The skill integrates pytest-cov and provides standard configurations to generate terminal and HTML coverage reports.

What tools are recommended for mocking?

The skill utilizes pytest-mock as a wrapper for unittest.mock, offering a more idiomatic and convenient way to handle mocks within pytest fixtures.
