# Temporal Python Testing Strategies Comprehensive testing approaches for Temporal workflows using pytest, progressive disclosure resources for specific testing scenarios. ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to temporal python testing strategies - You need a different domain or tool outside this scope ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Use this skill when - **Unit testing workflows** - Fast tests with time-skipping - **Integration testing** - Workflows with mocked activities - **Replay testing** - Validate determinism against production histories - **Local development** - Set up Temporal server and pytest - **CI/CD integration** - Automated testing pipelines - **Coverage strategies** - Achieve ≥80% test coverage ## Testing Philosophy **Recommended Approach** (Source: docs.temporal.io/develop/python/testing-suite): - Write majority as integration tests - Use pytest with async fixtures - Time-skipping enables fast feedback (month-long workflows → seconds) - Mock activities to isolate workflow logic - Validate determinism with replay testing **Three Test Types**: 1. **Unit**: Workflows with time-skipping, activities with ActivityEnvironment 2. **Integration**: Workers with mocked activities 3. **End-to-end**: Full Temporal server with r...
