** Protecting Sensitive Data in Testing with pytest-mask-secrets

As software development becomes increasingly complex, ensuring the security and privacy of sensitive data has become a top priority. Application logs and testing logs can be vulnerable to leakage, revealing passwords or access tokens. While CI workflows provide mechanisms to mask sensitive data, this approach may not be sufficient for all situations. GitHub Actions, for example, does an excellent job of handling secrets but only works within the workflow's captured output. This is where pytest-mask-secrets comes in – a tool that masks sensitive data directly at the test level or within the test framework.
