SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Django testing is often inconsistent, slow, and incomplete, leading to fragile code and undetected bugs that reach production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD Workflow Guidance: Step-by-step Red-Green-Refactor cycle tailored for Django models, views, and Django REST Framework APIs.
  • Test Infrastructure Setup: Pre-configured pytest settings, test database configuration, and reusable conftest fixtures for fast, reliable test runs.
  • Factory Boy Integration: Reusable model factories to eliminate repetitive test data setup and improve test maintainability.
  • Mocking & Coverage Best Practices: Patterns for mocking external services like Stripe and email backends, plus guidance to hit 80%+ code coverage targets.
  • Use Case: A Django e-commerce team can use this skill to set up a full test suite for product models, DRF API endpoints, and checkout flows in minutes, catching regressions before deployment.

Quick Start

Use the django-tdd skill to set up a pytest test suite for your Django project's product API with factory_boy fixtures and DRF API client tests.

Frequently Asked Questions about django-tdd

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up pytest for Django REST Framework API testing?▼

Django REST Framework API testing with pytest requires pre-configured test database settings and reusable conftest fixtures. This skill provides the infrastructure setup to run fast, reliable API client tests for your endpoints without manual configuration overhead.

What's the best way to generate test data for Django models?▼

Generating test data for Django models is best handled using factory_boy integration. This skill provides reusable model factories that eliminate repetitive test data setup, improving test maintainability and ensuring consistent test data generation across your test suite.

How does test-driven development work with Django models and views?▼

Test-driven development for Django models and views follows a step-by-step Red-Green-Refactor cycle. This skill provides TDD workflow guidance tailored specifically for Django models, views, and DRF APIs to ensure code quality and catch regressions early.

Can I mock external services like Stripe in Django tests?▼

Mocking external services like Stripe and email backends in Django tests is supported through dedicated mocking patterns. This skill provides best practices for isolating external dependencies to ensure your test suite remains fast and does not trigger live API calls.

How do I reach 80% code coverage in a Django project?▼

Reaching 80% code coverage in a Django project requires proper pytest configuration and comprehensive test execution. This skill includes code coverage reporting guidance and mocking best practices to help you hit and exceed your coverage targets reliably.

Does factory_boy work with Django REST Framework serializers?▼

Factory_boy works seamlessly with Django REST Framework serializers by generating valid model instances that serializers can process. This skill integrates factory_boy fixtures with DRF API client tests to validate serializer behavior and API endpoints efficiently.
