Testing Skill

Provides comprehensive testing patterns and best practices for the Golden Armada AI Agent Fleet Platform.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when working with:

• Writing unit tests
• Integration testing
• Test fixtures and mocking
• Coverage analysis
• Test-driven development
• Pytest configuration

Quick Reference

Pytest Commands

```bash

Run all tests

pytest

Run specific file/directory

pytest tests/test_agent.py pytest tests/unit/

Run specific test

pytest tests/test_agent.py::test_health_endpoint pytest -k "health" # Match pattern

Verbose output

pytest -v # Verbose pytest -vv # Extra verbose pytest -s # Show print statements

Coverage

pytest --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html

Stop on first failure

pytest -x pytest --maxfail=3

Parallel execution

pytest -n auto # Requires pytest-xdist ```

Test Structure

```python

tests/test_agent.py

import pytest from unittest.mock import Mock, patch, AsyncMock from agent import app, AgentService

class TestHealthEndpoint: """Tests for /health endpoint."""

@pytest.fixture
def client(self):
    """Create test client."""
    app.config['TESTING'] = True
    with app.test_client() as client:
        yield client

def test_health_returns_200(self, client):
    """Health endpoint should return 200 OK."""
    response = client.get('/health')

    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.json['status'] == 'healthy'

def test_health_includes_agent_name(self, client):
    """Health response should include agent name."""
    response = client.get('/health')

    assert 'agent' in response.json

```

Fixtures

```python

conftest.py

import pytest from sqlalchemy import create_engine from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

@pytest.fixture(scope='session') def engine(): """Create test database engine.""" return create_engine('sqlite:///:memory:')

@pytest.fixture(scope='function') def db_session(engine): """Create fresh database session for each test.""" Base.metadata.create_all(engine) Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine) session = Session() yield session session.rollback() session.close() Base.metadata.drop_all(engine)

@pytest.fixture def sample_agent(db_session): """Create sample agent for testing.""" agent = Agent(name='test-agent', type='claude') db_session.add(agent) db_session.commit() return agent

Parametrized fixtures

@pytest.fixture(params=['claude', 'gpt', 'gemini']) def agent_type(request): return request.param ```

Mocking

```python from unittest.mock import Mock, patch, MagicMock, AsyncMock

Basic mock

def test_with_mock(): mock_service = Mock() mock_service.process.return_value = {'status': 'ok'} result = handler(mock_service) mock_service.process.assert_called_once()

Patch decorator

@patch('module.external_api') def test_with_patch(mock_api): mock_api.fetch.return_value = {'data': 'test'} result = service.get_data() assert result == {'data': 'test'}

Async mock

@pytest.mark.asyncio async def test_async_function(): mock_client = AsyncMock() mock_client.fetch.return_value = {'result': 'success'} result = await async_handler(mock_client) assert result['result'] == 'success' ```

Parametrized Tests

```python @pytest.mark.parametrize('input,expected', [ ('hello', 'HELLO'), ('world', 'WORLD'), ('', ''), ]) def test_uppercase(input, expected): assert uppercase(input) == expected

@pytest.mark.parametrize('agent_type,expected_model', [ ('claude', 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514'), ('gpt', 'gpt-4'), ('gemini', 'gemini-pro'), ]) def test_model_selection(agent_type, expected_model): agent = create_agent(agent_type) assert agent.model == expected_model ```

Coverage Configuration

```toml

pyproject.toml

[tool.pytest.ini_options] testpaths = ["tests"] python_files = ["test_.py"] python_functions = ["test_"] addopts = "-v --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing --cov-fail-under=80" markers = [ "slow: marks tests as slow", "integration: marks integration tests", ]

[tool.coverage.run] branch = true source = ["src"] omit = ["/tests/", "*/init.py"] ```
