# Python Testing Patterns — Advanced Reference

Advanced testing patterns including database testing, CI/CD integration, and configuration.

## Testing Database Code

```python
# test_database_models.py
import pytest
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, Column, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker, Session

Base = declarative_base()


class User(Base):
    """User model."""
    __tablename__ = "users"

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String(50))
    email = Column(String(100), unique=True)


@pytest.fixture(scope="function")
def db_session() -> Session:
    """Create in-memory database for testing."""
    engine = create_engine("sqlite:///:memory:")
    Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

    SessionLocal = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
    session = SessionLocal()

    yield session

    session.close()


def test_create_user(db_session):
    """Test creating a user."""
    user = User(name="Test User", email="test@example.com")
    db_session.add(user)
    db_session.commit()

    assert user.id is not None
    assert user.name == "Test User"


def test_query_user(db_session):
    """Test querying users."""
    user1 = User(name="User 1", email="user1@example.com")
    user2 = User(name="User 2", email="user2@example.com")

    db_session.add_all([user1, user2])
    db_session.commit()

    users = db_session.query(User).all()
    assert len(users) == 2


def test_unique_email_constraint(db_session):
    """Test unique email constraint."""
    from sqlalchemy.exc import IntegrityError

    user1 = User(name="User 1", email="same@example.com")
    user2 = User(name="User 2", email="same@example.com")

    db_session.add(user1)
    db_session.commit()

    db_session.add(user2)

    with pytest.raises(IntegrityError):
        db_session.commit()
```

## CI/CD Integration

```yaml
# .github/workflows/test.yml
name: Tests

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix:
        python-version: ["3.9", "3.10", "3.11", "3.12"]

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install -e ".[dev]"
          pip install pytest pytest-cov

      - name: Run tests
        run: |
          pytest --cov=myapp --cov-report=xml

      - name: Upload coverage
        uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3
        with:
          file: ./coverage.xml
```

## Configuration Files

```ini
# pytest.ini
[pytest]
testpaths = tests
python_files = test_*.py
python_classes = Test*
python_functions = test_*
addopts =
    -v
    --strict-markers
    --tb=short
    --cov=myapp
    --cov-report=term-missing
markers =
    slow: marks tests as slow
    integration: marks integration tests
    unit: marks unit tests
    e2e: marks end-to-end tests
```

```toml
# pyproject.toml
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
testpaths = ["tests"]
python_files = ["test_*.py"]
addopts = [
    "-v",
    "--cov=myapp",
    "--cov-report=term-missing",
]

[tool.coverage.run]
source = ["myapp"]
omit = ["*/tests/*", "*/migrations/*"]

[tool.coverage.report]
exclude_lines = [
    "pragma: no cover",
    "def __repr__",
    "raise AssertionError",
    "raise NotImplementedError",
]
```
