python-testing

python-testing is a skill for Claude Code from loulanyue/awesome-claude-notes. It costs 40 tokens per session (5,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python testing guide covering pytest, test coverage, and test-driven development (TDD), a method of writing a failing test before the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for designing Python test suites, following the red-green-refactor cycle, reviewing coverage, and setting up testing infrastructure.
Why use it?
It helps developers structure tests, measure which code is covered, and improve code while preserving expected behavior.

    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

python-testing scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Pythonテストパターン

pytest、TDD方法論、ベストプラクティスを使用したPythonアプリケーションの包括的なテスト戦略。

いつ有効化するか

  • 新しいPythonコードを書くとき(TDDに従う:赤、緑、リファクタリング)
  • Pythonプロジェクトのテストスイートを設計するとき
  • Pythonテストカバレッジをレビューするとき
  • テストインフラストラクチャをセットアップするとき

核となるテスト哲学

テスト駆動開発(TDD)

常にTDDサイクルに従います。

  1. 赤: 期待される動作のための失敗するテストを書く
  2. 緑: テストを通過させるための最小限のコードを書く
  3. リファクタリング: テストを通過させたままコードを改善する
# Step 1: Write failing test (RED)
def test_add_numbers():
    result = add(2, 3)
    assert result == 5

# Step 2: Write minimal implementation (GREEN)
def add(a, b):
    return a + b

# Step 3: Refactor if needed (REFACTOR)

カバレッジ要件

  • 目標: 80%以上のコードカバレッジ
  • クリティカルパス: 100%のカバレッジが必要
  • pytest --covを使用してカバレッジを測定
pytest --cov=mypackage --cov-report=term-missing --cov-report=html

pytestの基礎

基本的なテスト構造

import pytest

def test_addition():
    """Test basic addition."""
    assert 2 + 2 == 4

def test_string_uppercase():
    """Test string uppercasing."""
    text = "hello"
    assert text.upper() == "HELLO"

def test_list_append():
    """Test list append."""
    items = [1, 2, 3]
    items.append(4)
    assert 4 in items
    assert len(items) == 4

アサーション

# Equality
assert result == expected

# Inequality
assert result != unexpected

# Truthiness
assert result  # Truthy
assert not result  # Falsy
assert result is True  # Exactly True
assert result is False  # Exactly False
assert result is None  # Exactly None

# Membership
assert item in collection
assert item not in collection

# Comparisons
assert result > 0
assert 0 <= result <= 100

# Type checking
assert isinstance(result, str)

# Exception testing (preferred approach)
with pytest.raises(ValueError):
    raise ValueError("error message")

# Check exception message
with pytest.raises(ValueError, match="invalid input"):
    raise ValueError("invalid input provided")

# Check exception attributes
with pytest.raises(ValueError) as exc_info:
    raise ValueError("error message")
assert str(exc_info.value) == "error message"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

python-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository loulanyue/awesome-claude-notes (271 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 5,093 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
