test-runner

Automate Django backend test suite execution by utilizing the test runner's tagging system to organize and trigger unit, integration, and end-to-end tests via simple command line scripts.

Run specific Django unit tests by executing commands like `python manage.py test api --settings=freearkweb.test_settings --tag=unit` to target isolated components using the tagging system.

Execute layered integration and end-to-end tests with the Django test runner by applying specific test tags, allowing you to verify backend changes and maintain overall test integrity.

You need both Django and pytest installed to manage backend test automation, as these dependencies provide the required framework and testing libraries to execute the test suite.

Test tagging improves backend test suite management by categorizing tests into unit, integration, and end-to-end layers, enabling targeted execution and efficient verification of specific backend changes.

Monitor test performance baseline over time by executing the backend test suite and tracking execution metrics, ensuring long-term test integrity and identifying performance regressions during verification.
