+# Testing
+
+There is no need to mock `aiogqlc` in your tests.
+Instead you might want to mock your GraphQL backend.
+This can be done by providing a `aiohttp.web.Application`.
+
+The following example shows a `pytest` and `pytest-aiohttp` based test using a mock GraphQL backend:
+
+```python
+import aiohttp
+import aiohttp.web
+from aiogqlc import GraphQLClient
+
+
+class TestGraphQLView(aiohttp.web.View):
+    async def post(self):
+        return aiohttp.web.json_response({"data": {"ping": "pong"}})
+
+
+async def test_ping_query(aiohttp_client):
+    app = aiohttp.web.Application()
+    app.router.add_route("*", "/graphql", TestGraphQLView)
+
+    graphql_session = await aiohttp_client(app)
+    client = GraphQLClient(endpoint="/graphql", session=graphql_session)
+
+    response = await client.execute("query { ping }")
+    assert await response.json() == {"data": {"ping": "pong"}}
+```
+
+In fact, the `aiogqlc` test suite itself is based on this approach.
+Take a look at [the aiogqlc tests directory](https://github.com/DoctorJohn/aiogqlc/tree/main/tests) for more advanced examples.
