Django Testing

Unit and integration tests

python

from django.test import TestCase, Client
from .models import Product

class ProductTestCase(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        Product.objects.create(name="Test", price=10)
    
    def test_product_creation(self):
        product = Product.objects.get(name="Test")
        self.assertEqual(product.price, 10)

💡 Use setUp() for test data

📌 Test both success and failure cases

⚡ Use --parallel for faster tests

🟢 Client() simulates requests
