Testing Strategy

Testing principles and strategies for writing and running tests. See reference.md and examples.md for details.

Core Principles

• Write tests for all new functionality
• Test both success and failure cases
• Verify all examples in README.md execute correctly
• Mock package resources when testing

Pytest Usage

• ONLY use pytest or pytest plugins - do NOT use the unittest module
• All tests should have typing annotations
• All tests should be in tests/ directory
• All tests should be fully annotated and contain docstrings

Test Environment

• Do not modify project files during test execution (e.g., mkdocs.yml)
• Use temporary directories for test outputs
• Detect test environment to separate from production behavior
