22 Jan 10 Testing Your First Django App
Dougal Matthews wrote a great blog post entitled “Testing Your First Django App“. This is something that I have been meaning to do for a long time now, but didn’t know how to get started. Much to my surprise (I guess I shouldn’t be), Python supports the xUnit style of testing via the standard library package unittest. Since we are now using CxxTest at work, this is quite familiar to me now. Dougal’s blog entry shows some nice ways of testing Django web applications without using a server by mocking up requests and examining responses from your view functions. Very cool!
