Short summary

Master AWS Lambda and application testing across unit, integration, and end-to-end levels using moto for AWS service mocking and SAM CLI for local development. This guide covers key testing tools and strategies: unit tests with pytest and moto, integration tests against deployed API Gateway stages, and how to configure stage variables for environment isolation. Build a complete testing toolkit for production-ready applications.

• •Three testing levels: unit tests with moto, integration tests against real deployed stages, end-to-end tests with SAM CLI
• •SAM CLI tools: sam local invoke (single function), sam local start-api (full API emulator), sam local generate-event (sample payloads)
• •Mock AWS services with moto and external APIs with unittest.mock; use stage variables for environment-specific configuration
