What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of writing robust tests for FastAPI applications, ensuring code quality and reliability through Test-Driven Development (TDD).

Core Features & Use Cases

• TDD Workflow: Guides you through the Red-Green-Refactor cycle specifically for FastAPI.
• Async Testing: Integrates seamlessly with pytest-asyncio for testing asynchronous code.
• Database & API Testing: Provides fixtures for async SQLAlchemy sessions and httpx clients for comprehensive integration testing.
• Data Generation: Leverages polyfactory for creating realistic test data.
• Mocking: Demonstrates effective strategies for mocking external services.
• Use Case: When developing a new API endpoint in FastAPI, use this Skill to first write a failing test, then implement the endpoint to pass, and finally refactor your code while maintaining test coverage.

Quick Start

Activate this skill to set up a new FastAPI project with TDD using pytest and httpx.
