Focus: Monkeypatching and Mocks
Python: Monkeypatching and Mocks
Answer
If you mock the behavior you are trying to verify, the test mostly confirms your own setup.
Naming the pitfall early helps you design tests, reviews, and safer boundaries. Connect the idea to a realistic coding decision so recall is easier when solving similar questions.
