What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the common pain point of writing inconsistent, slow, or incomplete tests for Django and Django REST Framework applications, which often leads to undetected bugs and fragile, hard-to-maintain codebases.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-End TDD Workflow: Step-by-step Red-Green-Refactor cycle guidance tailored specifically for Django model, view, and API development.
- Preconfigured Testing Stack: Ready-to-use pytest, pytest-django, factory_boy, and coverage configurations to eliminate manual test setup work.
- Comprehensive Test Patterns: Built-in examples for model validation, view behavior, DRF serializer and ViewSet testing, external service mocking, and full integration testing.
- Use Case: A developer building a Django e-commerce API can use this Skill to quickly generate test factories for products and users, write model validation tests, and validate API endpoint behavior without spending hours configuring test infrastructure.
Quick Start
Use the django-tdd skill to set up a complete pytest test suite with factory_boy test factories and DRF API endpoint tests for your new Django inventory management app.
