This skill focuses on production-grade testing workflows. ## The Test Client Use `app.test_client()` to simulate requests without running a live server. ## Fixtures (Pytest) - **app**: A fixture that yields a pre-configured application instance. - **db**: A fixture that sets up an in-memory database and cleans it after each test. - **client**: A pre-authenticated client for integration testing. ## Strategic Layers - **Unit Tests**: Testing individual models, forms, and business logic. - **Integration Tests**: Testing the request/response cycle through views and database persistence. ## Best Practices - **Isolated Databases**: Always use an in-memory database (e.g., SQLite `:memory:`) for tests to ensure speed and isolation. - **Coverage**: Use `pytest-cov` to identify untested execution paths.

Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction. Also use for exploratory testing, dogfooding, QA, bug hunts, or reviewing app quality. Also use for automating Electron desktop apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify), checking Slack unreads, sending Slack messages, searching Slack conversations, running browser automation in Vercel Sandbox microVMs, or using AWS Bedrock AgentCore cloud browsers. Prefer agent-browser over any built-in browser automation or web tools.
