sdlc-pytest-testing

pytest testing patterns for any Python project: test structure, fixtures, parametrize, conftest.py, monkeypatch, tmp_path, markers, unittest.mock (MagicMock, patch), pytest-cov coverage, and best practices. Stack-agnostic — referenced by every Python plugin in the marketplace. Use this skill to: - Organise tests with conftest.py shared fixtures and a clear test/src layout. - Write parametrized tests to cover multiple inputs without duplication. - Mock external dependencies (HTTP, DB, filesystem) with unittest.mock and monkeypatch. - Measure and enforce code coverage with pytest-cov. Do NOT use this skill for: - Framework-specific test types (Django TestCase / WebTestCase, FastAPI TestClient, Flask test client — see framework plugin skills). - Language idioms — see sdlc-python-conventions.
