Test-Driven Development in Django

Test-Driven Development philosophy:

• Don’t write ay code until you have a failing test
• Write code to pass a test

Functional test vs Unit tests

Functional test

Deal with the way a user will interact with your project, also known as functionality

In short, it is:

• Things the user would know and care about
• like find a recipe

eg:

• if the user goes to the homepage of foodiejournals.com, they will see the carousel.
• If the user goes to the login page, they can login.
• a logged in user can post new recipe.

Unit test

Ensure that small pieces of your project are working as they should

In short, it is:

• Things the user would never know about
• like to ensure recipe.description() is working properly

eg:

• the ability to render a specific view with a specific URL call.
• The ability to apply the correct authentication
• the ability to create Recipe object from the model
