198: Testing Django Web Applications - Carlton Gibson, Will Vincent
Django has some built in ways to test your application. There's also pytest-django and other plugins that help with testing. Carlton Gibson and Will Vincent from the Django Chat Podcast join the show to discuss how to get started testing your Django application.
Help support the show AND learn pytest:
- The Complete pytest course is now a bundle, with each part available separately.
- pytest Primary Power teaches the super powers of pytest that you need to learn to use pytest effectively.
- Using pytest with Projects has lots of "when you need it" sections like debugging failed tests, mocking, testing strategy, and CI
- Then pytest Booster Rockets can help with advanced parametrization and building plugins.
- Whether you need to get started with pytest today, or want to power up your pytest skills, PythonTest has a course for you.
