# Temporal Python Testing Strategies

Test workflows without waiting for time to actually pass

## What this does

You have workflows that wait around for long periods, and testing them normally means waiting too. This covers writing tests for them, skipping past the waiting, standing in for the parts you do not want to actually run, and replaying past runs. Reach for it when you are writing these tests or one of them is failing and you cannot see why.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Write tests for a workflow
- Skip past long waits in a test
- Mock out the parts a test should not really call

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Temporal Python Testing Strategies safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Temporal Python Testing Strategies and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit ece811f23310, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/temporal-python-testing.

### How do I install Temporal Python Testing Strategies?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/temporal-python-testing on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/ece811f23310a37ceb43496dbac0e244fe6845b6/plugins/backend-development/skills/temporal-python-testing. Install from that link, not the branch.
