What it does​

Python test code authoring conventions

When to use it​

Use these conventions when Python files define pytest tests, fixtures, parameterized cases, or mocks. They extend the general Python script rules with behavioral naming and Arrange/Act/Assert structure; prefer pytest-mock for new spy and patch behavior while retaining simple monkeypatch use.

Example usage​

Provide a concrete example that shows the asset in action, including representative input and the resulting output.
