from starlette.testclient import TestClient as TestClient  # noqa...

You can use the `TestClient` class to test FastAPI applications without creating an actual HTTP and socket connection, just communicating directly with the FastAPI code.

Read more about it in the [FastAPI docs for Testing](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/testing/).

You can import it directly from `fastapi.testclient`:

```python
from fastapi.testclient import TestClient
```

@pytest.fixture(name="client")

    return client

    response = client.get("/items/foo")
    assert response.status_code == 404, response.text
