# Django Testing with TDD
Test-driven development for Django applications using pytest, factory_boy, and Django REST Framework.
## When to Activate
- Writing new Django applications
- Implementing Django REST Framework APIs
- Testing Django models, views, and serializers
- Setting up testing infrastructure for Django projects
## TDD Workflow for Django
### Red-Green-Refactor Cycle
```python
# Step 1: RED - Write failing test
def test_user_creation():
user = User.objects.create_user(email='test@example.com', password='testpass123')
assert user.email == 'test@example.com'
assert user.check_password('testpass123')
assert not user.is_staff
# Step 2: GREEN - Make test pass
# Create User model or factory
# Step 3: REFACTOR - Improve while keeping tests green
```
## Setup
### pytest Configuration
```ini
# pytest.ini
[pytest]
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE = config.settings.test
testpaths = tests
python_files = test_*.py
python_classes = Test*
python_functions = test_*
addopts =
--reuse-db
--nomigrations
--cov=apps
--cov-report=html
--cov-report=term-missing
--strict-markers
markers =
slow: marks tests as slow
integration: marks tests as integration tests
```
### Test Settings
```python
# config/settings/test.py
from .base import *
DEBUG = True
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': ':memory:',
}
}
