Django Tdd

This is a comprehensive Django testing setup that goes beyond basic pytest configuration. It covers the full TDD workflow with practical examples of factory_boy for test data generation, pytest fixtures for authentication, and testing patterns for models, views, and DRF APIs. The conftest setup and test settings are production-ready, including smart optimizations like in-memory databases and disabled migrations. What stands out is the thoroughness: you get complete factories with post-generation hooks, coverage configuration, and real examples of testing edge cases like price validation and stock management. If you're setting up testing infrastructure for a Django project or teaching a team TDD practices, this gives you working code to adapt rather than starting from scratch.

TDD Workflow for Django

Red-Green-Refactor Cycle

# 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
