This repository contains the complete source code for the Django Testing Tutorial as described in my blog post: "Streamlining Django Testing with Pytest, Factory Boy, and Fixtures". The tutorial is designed to help Django developers enhance their testing strategies by incorporating Pytest, Factory Boy, and pytest fixtures into their workflows.
Testing is a critical part of Django development that ensures your application is stable, reliable, and ready for production. This tutorial and accompanying codebase demonstrate how to leverage powerful testing tools to write more efficient and maintainable tests for your Django projects.
- Examples of Django model definitions suitable for testing.
- Usage of Factory Boy to generate test data for Django models.
- Setup and use of Pytest fixtures for efficient test setup and teardown.
- Advanced testing techniques utilizing scoped fixtures for optimizing test performance.
