## Common Patterns

### Testing API Endpoints (FastAPI/Flask)

```python
@pytest.fixture
def client():
    app = create_app(testing=True)
    return app.test_client()

def test_get_user(client):
    response = client.get("/api/users/1")
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.json["id"] == 1

def test_create_user(client):
    response = client.post("/api/users", json={
        "name": "Alice",
        "email": "alice@example.com"
    })
    assert response.status_code == 201
    assert response.json["name"] == "Alice"
```

### Testing Database Operations

```python
@pytest.fixture
def db_session():
    """Create a test database session."""
    session = Session(bind=engine)
    session.begin_nested()
    yield session
    session.rollback()
    session.close()

def test_create_user(db_session):
    user = User(name="Alice", email="alice@example.com")
    db_session.add(user)
    db_session.commit()

    retrieved = db_session.query(User).filter_by(name="Alice").first()
    assert retrieved.email == "alice@example.com"
```

### Testing Class Methods

```python
class TestCalculator:
    @pytest.fixture
    def calculator(self):
        return Calculator()

    def test_add(self, calculator):
        assert calculator.add(2, 3) == 5

    def test_divide_by_zero(self, calculator):
        with pytest.raises(ZeroDivisionError):
            calculator.divide(10, 0)
```
