python-testing-patterns

combined

Implement comprehensive testing strategies with pytest, fixtures, mocking, and test-driven development. Use when writing Python tests, setting up test suites, or implementing testing best practices.

When to use

• 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

When not to use

• The task is unrelated to python testing patterns
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Conflict

The first two copies are nearly identical stubs that point to a resources/implementation-playbook.md file for details. The third copy (LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills) contains the actual detailed content (Core Concepts, Quick Start, and Fundamental Patterns with code examples) that the other two copies reference but do not include. Because the third copy contains the substantive procedure while the others are just wrappers/stubs, and they disagree on whether the content is inline or in a separate file, this is a combine case where the detailed content from the third copy is the real skill.
