Django Tdd

The Django-TDD skill provides test-driven development guidance for Django applications using pytest-django, factory_boy, and mocking techniques to test models, views, serializers, and REST Framework APIs. It's designed for Django developers who want to implement TDD methodology, offering configuration templates, fixtures, and the red-green-refactor workflow to establish testing infrastructure and practices. This skill solves the problem of knowing how to structure and execute comprehensive tests for Django projects while following TDD principles.

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
