+# Integration Testing with Mocked Activities
+
+Comprehensive patterns for testing workflows with mocked external dependencies, error injection, and complex scenarios.
+
+## Activity Mocking Strategy
+
+**Purpose**: Test workflow orchestration logic without calling real external services
+
+### Basic Mock Pattern
+
+```python
+import pytest
+from temporalio.testing import WorkflowEnvironment
+from temporalio.worker import Worker
+from unittest.mock import Mock
+
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_workflow_with_mocked_activity(workflow_env):
+    """Mock activity to test workflow logic"""
+
+    # Create mock activity
+    mock_activity = Mock(return_value="mocked-result")
+
+    @workflow.defn
+    class WorkflowWithActivity:
+        @workflow.run
+        async def run(self, input: str) -> str:
+            result = await workflow.execute_activity(
+                process_external_data,
+                input,
+                start_to_close_timeout=timedelta(seconds=10),
+            )
+            return f"processed: {result}"
+
+    async with Worker(
+        workflow_env.client,
+        task_queue="test",
+        workflows=[WorkflowWithActivity],
+        activities=[mock_activity],  # Use mock instead of real activity
+    ):
+        result = await workflow_env.client.execute_workflow(
+            WorkflowWithActivity.run,
+            "test-input",
+            id="wf-mock",
+            task_queue="test",
+        )
+        assert result == "processed: mocked-result"
+        mock_activity.assert_called_once()
+```
+
+### Dynamic Mock Responses
+
+**Scenario-Based Mocking**:
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_workflow_multiple_mock_scenarios(workflow_env):
+    """Test different workflow paths with dynamic mocks"""
+
+    # Mock returns different values based on input
+    def dynamic_activity(input: str) -> str:
+        if input == "error-case":
+            raise ApplicationError("Validation failed", non_retryable=True)
+        return f"processed-{input}"
+
+    @workflow.defn
+    class DynamicWorkflow:
+        @workflow.run
+        async def run(self, input: str) -> str:
+            try:
+                result = await workflow.execute_activity(
+                    dynamic_activity,
+                    input,
+                    start_to_close_timeout=timedelta(seconds=10),
+                )
+                return f"success: {result}"
+            except ApplicationError as e:
+                return f"error: {e.message}"
+
+    async with Worker(
+        workflow_env.client,
+        task_queue="test",
+        workflows=[DynamicWorkflow],
+        activities=[dynamic_activity],
+    ):
+        # Test success path
+        result_success = await workflow_env.client.execute_workflow(
+            DynamicWorkflow.run,
+            "valid-input",
+            id="wf-success",
+            task_queue="test",
+        )
+        assert result_success == "success: processed-valid-input"
+
+        # Test error path
+        result_error = await workflow_env.client.execute_workflow(
+            DynamicWorkflow.run,
+            "error-case",
+            id="wf-error",
+            task_queue="test",
+        )
+        assert "Validation failed" in result_error
+```
+
+## Error Injection Patterns
+
+### Testing Transient Failures
+
+**Retry Behavior**:
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_workflow_transient_errors(workflow_env):
+    """Test retry logic with controlled failures"""
+
+    attempt_count = 0
+
+    @activity.defn
+    async def transient_activity() -> str:
+        nonlocal attempt_count
+        attempt_count += 1
+
+        if attempt_count < 3:
+            raise Exception(f"Transient error {attempt_count}")
+        return "success-after-retries"
+
+    @workflow.defn
+    class RetryWorkflow:
+        @workflow.run
+        async def run(self) -> str:
+            return await workflow.execute_activity(
+                transient_activity,
+                start_to_close_timeout=timedelta(seconds=10),
+                retry_policy=RetryPolicy(
+                    initial_interval=timedelta(milliseconds=10),
+                    maximum_attempts=5,
+                    backoff_coefficient=1.0,
+                ),
+            )
+
+    async with Worker(
+        workflow_env.client,
+        task_queue="test",
+        workflows=[RetryWorkflow],
+        activities=[transient_activity],
+    ):
+        result = await workflow_env.client.execute_workflow(
+            RetryWorkflow.run,
+            id="retry-wf",
+            task_queue="test",
+        )
+        assert result == "success-after-retries"
+        assert attempt_count == 3
+```
+
+### Testing Non-Retryable Errors
+
+**Business Validation Failures**:
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_workflow_non_retryable_error(workflow_env):
+    """Test handling of permanent failures"""
+
+    @activity.defn
+    async def validation_activity(input: dict) -> str:
+        if not input.get("valid"):
+            raise ApplicationError(
+                "Invalid input",
+                non_retryable=True,  # Don't retry validation errors
+            )
+        return "validated"
+
+    @workflow.defn
+    class ValidationWorkflow:
+        @workflow.run
+        async def run(self, input: dict) -> str:
+            try:
+                return await workflow.execute_activity(
+                    validation_activity,
+                    input,
+                    start_to_close_timeout=timedelta(seconds=10),
+                )
+            except ApplicationError as e:
+                return f"validation-failed: {e.message}"
+
+    async with Worker(
+        workflow_env.client,
+        task_queue="test",
+        workflows=[ValidationWorkflow],
+        activities=[validation_activity],
+    ):
+        result = await workflow_env.client.execute_workflow(
+            ValidationWorkflow.run,
+            {"valid": False},
+            id="validation-wf",
+            task_queue="test",
+        )
+        assert "validation-failed" in result
+```
+
+## Multi-Activity Workflow Testing
+
+### Sequential Activity Pattern
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_workflow_sequential_activities(workflow_env):
+    """Test workflow orchestrating multiple activities"""
+
+    activity_calls = []
+
+    @activity.defn
+    async def step_1(input: str) -> str:
+        activity_calls.append("step_1")
+        return f"{input}-step1"
+
+    @activity.defn
+    async def step_2(input: str) -> str:
+        activity_calls.append("step_2")
+        return f"{input}-step2"
+
+    @activity.defn
+    async def step_3(input: str) -> str:
+        activity_calls.append("step_3")
+        return f"{input}-step3"
+
+    @workflow.defn
+    class SequentialWorkflow:
+        @workflow.run
+        async def run(self, input: str) -> str:
+            result_1 = await workflow.execute_activity(
+                step_1,
+                input,
+                start_to_close_timeout=timedelta(seconds=10),
+            )
+            result_2 = await workflow.execute_activity(
+                step_2,
+                result_1,
+                start_to_close_timeout=timedelta(seconds=10),
+            )
+            result_3 = await workflow.execute_activity(
+                step_3,
+                result_2,
+                start_to_close_timeout=timedelta(seconds=10),
+            )
+            return result_3
+
+    async with Worker(
+        workflow_env.client,
+        task_queue="test",
+        workflows=[SequentialWorkflow],
+        activities=[step_1, step_2, step_3],
+    ):
+        result = await workflow_env.client.execute_workflow(
+            SequentialWorkflow.run,
+            "start",
+            id="seq-wf",
+            task_queue="test",
+        )
+        assert result == "start-step1-step2-step3"
+        assert activity_calls == ["step_1", "step_2", "step_3"]
+```
+
+### Parallel Activity Pattern
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_workflow_parallel_activities(workflow_env):
+    """Test concurrent activity execution"""
+
+    @activity.defn
+    async def parallel_task(task_id: int) -> str:
+        return f"task-{task_id}"
+
+    @workflow.defn
+    class ParallelWorkflow:
+        @workflow.run
+        async def run(self, task_count: int) -> list[str]:
+            # Execute activities in parallel
+            tasks = [
+                workflow.execute_activity(
+                    parallel_task,
+                    i,
+                    start_to_close_timeout=timedelta(seconds=10),
+                )
+                for i in range(task_count)
+            ]
+            return await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
+
+    async with Worker(
+        workflow_env.client,
+        task_queue="test",
+        workflows=[ParallelWorkflow],
+        activities=[parallel_task],
+    ):
+        result = await workflow_env.client.execute_workflow(
+            ParallelWorkflow.run,
+            3,
+            id="parallel-wf",
+            task_queue="test",
+        )
+        assert result == ["task-0", "task-1", "task-2"]
+```
+
+## Signal and Query Testing
+
+### Signal Handlers
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_workflow_signals(workflow_env):
+    """Test workflow signal handling"""
+
+    @workflow.defn
+    class SignalWorkflow:
+        def __init__(self) -> None:
+            self._status = "initialized"
+
+        @workflow.run
+        async def run(self) -> str:
+            # Wait for completion signal
+            await workflow.wait_condition(lambda: self._status == "completed")
+            return self._status
+
+        @workflow.signal
+        async def update_status(self, new_status: str) -> None:
+            self._status = new_status
+
+        @workflow.query
+        def get_status(self) -> str:
+            return self._status
+
+    async with Worker(
+        workflow_env.client,
+        task_queue="test",
+        workflows=[SignalWorkflow],
+    ):
+        # Start workflow
+        handle = await workflow_env.client.start_workflow(
+            SignalWorkflow.run,
+            id="signal-wf",
+            task_queue="test",
+        )
+
+        # Verify initial state via query
+        initial_status = await handle.query(SignalWorkflow.get_status)
+        assert initial_status == "initialized"
+
+        # Send signal
+        await handle.signal(SignalWorkflow.update_status, "processing")
+
+        # Verify updated state
+        updated_status = await handle.query(SignalWorkflow.get_status)
+        assert updated_status == "processing"
+
+        # Complete workflow
+        await handle.signal(SignalWorkflow.update_status, "completed")
+        result = await handle.result()
+        assert result == "completed"
+```
+
+## Coverage Strategies
+
+### Workflow Logic Coverage
+
+**Target**: ≥80% coverage of workflow decision logic
+
+```python
+# Test all branches
+@pytest.mark.parametrize("condition,expected", [
+    (True, "branch-a"),
+    (False, "branch-b"),
+])
+async def test_workflow_branches(workflow_env, condition, expected):
+    """Ensure all code paths are tested"""
+    # Test implementation
+    pass
+```
+
+### Activity Coverage
+
+**Target**: ≥80% coverage of activity logic
+
+```python
+# Test activity edge cases
+@pytest.mark.parametrize("input,expected", [
+    ("valid", "success"),
+    ("", "empty-input-error"),
+    (None, "null-input-error"),
+])
+async def test_activity_edge_cases(activity_env, input, expected):
+    """Test activity error handling"""
+    # Test implementation
+    pass
+```
+
+## Integration Test Organization
+
+### Test Structure
+
+```
+tests/
+├── integration/
+│   ├── conftest.py              # Shared fixtures
+│   ├── test_order_workflow.py   # Order processing tests
+│   ├── test_payment_workflow.py # Payment tests

+└── fixtures/
+    └── test_data.py             # Test data builders
+```
+
+### Shared Fixtures
+
+```python
+# conftest.py
+import pytest
+from temporalio.testing import WorkflowEnvironment
+
+@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
+async def workflow_env():
+    """Session-scoped environment for integration tests"""
+    env = await WorkflowEnvironment.start_time_skipping()
+    yield env
+    await env.shutdown()
+
+@pytest.fixture
+def mock_payment_service():
+    """Mock external payment service"""
+    return Mock()
+
+@pytest.fixture
+def mock_inventory_service():
+    """Mock external inventory service"""
+    return Mock()
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Mock External Dependencies**: Never call real APIs in tests
+2. **Test Error Scenarios**: Verify compensation and retry logic
+3. **Parallel Testing**: Use pytest-xdist for faster test runs
+4. **Isolated Tests**: Each test should be independent
+5. **Clear Assertions**: Verify both results and side effects
+6. **Coverage Target**: ≥80% for critical workflows
+7. **Fast Execution**: Use time-skipping, avoid real delays
