python-testing

python-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex 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.

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 today.

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. : 期待される動作のための失敗するテストを書く
  2. : 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 (270 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 5,093 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
