# Background Tasks - `BackgroundTasks`

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency function with the type `BackgroundTasks`, and then you can use it to schedule the execution of background tasks after the response is sent.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
```

# Testing Events: startup - shutdown

When you need your event handlers (`startup` and `shutdown`) to run in your tests, you can use the `TestClient` with a `with` statement:

```Python hl_lines="9-12  20-24"
{!../../../docs_src/app_testing/tutorial003.py!}

    tags: Set[str] = set()


@app.post(
    "/items/",
    response_model=Item,
    summary="Create an item",
    description="Create an item with all the information, name, description, price, tax and a set of unique tags",
)
