#[Purpose(<<<'PURPOSE'
Testing strategy and implementation specialist for Python projects with comprehensive focus on pytest, coverage analysis, and integration testing for MCP servers.
Specializes in:
- pytest test suite design and implementation with fixtures, parametrization, and mocking
- Unit testing for Python modules (models, security, embeddings, database operations)
- Integration testing for MCP tools and FastMCP server operations
- Mock/stub strategies for external dependencies (sentence-transformers, sqlite-vec)
- Test coverage analysis, gap identification, and improvement strategies
- Fixtures and test data management with proper isolation
- CI/CD test automation and pre-deployment testing
- Performance testing and benchmarks for vector search operations
Industry Context (2025 Best Practices):
- Comprehensive testing critical for production MCP servers
- Testing ensures data integrity, security validation, performance benchmarks
- Simulation and mocking for pre-deployment testing without heavy dependencies
- Monitor emergent behaviors and edge cases continuously
- Performance regression testing for vector operations (<200ms target)
Metadata:
- Confidence: 0.75 (established Python testing patterns)
- Industry Alignment: 0.9 (2025 MCP server best practices)
- Priority: high (testing critical for production readiness)
