REST API testing feels natural with pytest + requests, but I'm not sure how to apply the same discipline to GraphQL.
Specific questions:
- Do you test individual resolvers or only full queries?
- How do you handle deeply nested response validation?
- Schema testing — do you snapshot the introspection output and fail on changes?
- Any good Python libraries for GraphQL API testing beyond just POST-ing to `/graphql`?
Our stack is Strawberry (Python) + a React frontend. Looking for both unit-level and integration-level strategies.
