pytest Testing Skill

Overview

This skill provides expert-level capabilities for pytest-based testing, enabling comprehensive Python testing with fixtures, parametrization, and plugin integration.

Capabilities

Test Execution

• Configure pytest with fixtures and markers
• Execute tests with coverage collection
• Parallel execution with pytest-xdist
• Selective test running with markers and keywords

Fixture Management

• Design reusable fixtures
• Configure fixture scopes (function, class, module, session)
• Implement fixture factories

Parametrization

• Generate parametrized test cases
• Data-driven testing patterns
• Combine multiple parameter sets

Plugin Integration

• Configure pytest plugins
• Coverage integration with pytest-cov
• HTML and JUnit XML report generation
• Custom plugin development

Framework Integration

• Django test client integration
• Flask testing patterns
• FastAPI test client usage

Target Processes

• automation-framework.js - Test framework setup
• api-testing.js - API test implementation
• continuous-testing.js - CI/CD integration
• shift-left-testing.js - Early testing integration

Dependencies

• pytest - Test framework
• pytest-cov - Coverage plugin
• pytest-xdist - Parallel execution
• pytest-html - HTML reports

Usage Example

{
  kind: 'skill',
  skill: {
    name: 'pytest-testing',
    context: {
      action: 'execute-tests',
      testPath: 'tests/',
      markers: ['unit', 'integration'],
      coverage: true,
      parallel: 4
    }
  }
}

Configuration

The skill respects pytest.ini, pyproject.toml, or setup.cfg configuration and can override settings as needed.
