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.

AGI Framework Integration

Adapted for @techwavedev/​agi-agent-kit Original source: antigravity-awesome-skills

Memory-First Protocol

Retrieve prior test strategies, known flaky tests, and coverage gaps. Cache test infrastructure setup to avoid re-configuring test environments.

# Check for prior testing/​QA context before starting
python3 execution/​memory_manager.py auto --query "test patterns and coverage strategies for Python Testing Patterns"

Storing Results

After completing work, store testing/​QA decisions for future sessions:

python3 execution/​memory_manager.py store \
  --content "Testing strategy: integration tests hit real DB (no mocks), 85% line coverage, mutation testing on critical paths" \
  --type technical --project <project> \
  --tags python-testing-patterns testing

Multi-Agent Collaboration

Share test results and coverage reports with code review agents so they can verify adequate coverage on changed code.

python3 execution/​cross_agent_context.py store \
  --agent "<your-agent>" \
  --action "QA complete — test suite expanded with 12 new integration tests, all passing" \
  --project <project>

TDD Enforcement

This skill integrates with the framework's iron-law RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle. No production code without a failing test first.

Agent Team: QA

Dispatch qa_team to generate tests and verify they pass before marking implementation complete.
