I've been using factory-boy as of late, and have found it to be a great way to setup each test exactly as I need it. Fixtures aren't bad either, but working with a large amount of data can make it difficult to predict the proper output for a test, and changes to this data to accommodate a new test situation could affect others.
You could setup a group of test records in the setup method of a test class to be used for several tests. Keep your tests focused, and you'll find you won't need a huge batch of data to get good coverage. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
