pytest-backend-patterns

What problem does it solve?

It removes the guesswork from backend testing by giving you proven pytest patterns for FastAPI and Python services, so you can build tests that are clear, maintainable, and dependable.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Fixture Design: Set up reusable database sessions, test users, and other common test inputs with clean teardown behavior.
• Async Endpoint Testing: Validate async FastAPI routes with HTTP clients that work naturally in event-driven code.
• Isolation and Mocking: Protect test reliability with transaction rollback patterns and mock external APIs instead of calling live services.
• Use Case: A backend engineer can use this Skill to test user endpoints, verify database-backed logic, and parameterize validation cases without rewriting test scaffolding each time.

Quick Start

Use the pytest-backend-patterns skill to design a pytest suite for my FastAPI backend, including fixtures, async endpoint tests, database isolation, and mocked external API calls.
