Pytest Adapter Integration Testing

Purpose

Adapters connect your application to external systems. This skill covers testing both unit-level (mocked) and integration-level (real services) scenarios.

When to Use This Skill

Use when testing adapters and gateways with "test Shopify gateway", "mock HTTP responses", "test Kafka adapter", or "decide between mocks and containers".

Do NOT use for domain testing (use pytest-domain-model-testing), application layer (use pytest-application-layer-testing), or general mocking patterns (use pytest-mocking-strategy).
