- pytest is the standard: learn fixtures, parametrize, and markers
- requests is the standard HTTP client: learn sessions, JSON handling, and response inspection

- Validate response structure (fields, types, absence of sensitive data), not just status codes
- Use parametrize for data-driven testing instead of copy-pasting test functions
