Hi Alex. Big topic!
The quick points I can make here are: * The “TestClient” based testing basically test the whole stack. They’re great but a bit broad brush. * If you have a model method (say) that you want to test, create a unit test which just creates the model instance and executes the particular method. (Rather than using the test client to run the whole view stack that you wrapped around that.) Same with serialisers, and even views to some extent. (Instantiate the view, call the methods, check the return value — many times this doesn’t need the whole HTTP request-response cycle.) * Some tests are better than no tests. It doesn’t have to be perfect. If you find a bug try to create a test for it before you fix it. These add up over time. Don’t think I can say much more here. Good luck.
