SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Django projects often struggle to implement consistent, maintainable testing practices. This Skill provides a ready-to-run TDD workflow using pytest-django, factory_boy, mocks, and Django REST Framework to improve test reliability and development speed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Red-Green-Refactor workflow for Django apps to drive code quality.
  • Comprehensive test suites for models, views, serializers, and DRF APIs with fixtures and factories.
  • Guidance for integrating mocks, coverage tooling, and realistic data generation in tests.
  • Use Case: add unit and API tests to an existing Django project to ensure changes do not break behavior.

Quick Start

Install required Python packages (pytest-django, factory_boy, djangorestframework), configure a Django settings module for tests, and run the test suite (e.g., pytest).
