Test Backend

Automate backend tests for a FastAPI application by executing pytest commands within your backend directory. The skill targets unit and integration tests, supporting pytest-asyncio to streamline verification and reduce manual test effort.

Generating coverage reports in a Python CI/CD workflow is handled by executing specific test commands provided by this skill. It supports coverage reporting alongside pytest execution to provide immediate feedback on test thoroughness.

A prepared Python environment with backend dependencies installed is required to run FastAPI integration tests. This ensures pytest can successfully execute the automated test suites and generate accurate verification results.

You can run specific test paths instead of the entire backend test suite. The skill provides flexible commands allowing you to target subset paths, execute all tests, or enable verbose output for focused backend verification.

Pytest-asyncio matters for automating Python backend tests because FastAPI applications rely heavily on asynchronous operations. Supporting pytest-asyncio ensures async unit and integration tests execute correctly within the CI/CD workflow.
