Thanks for the insight! Do you write tests to check for constraints
that are optional in definitions, for example?
address4 = models.CharField(max_length=45, null=True, blank=True)
could be written as
address4 = models.CharField(max_length=45)
Were is the most reasonable place to test this is correct (not regressing)
What about uniqueness, and composite field uniqueness?
# unique_together = (("field1", "field2","field3"),)
I'm thinking it would make sense to try to
create 2 of an object and save them, and check that it fails
