You will also learn how to add search functionality to help users find questions by using ElasticSearch. You'll discover ways to apply the principles of 12 factor apps while deploying Django on the most popular web server, Apache, with mod_wsgi. Lastly, you'll build a clone of MailChimp so users can send and create emails, and deploy it using AWS. </p><p> </p><p>Get set to take your basic Python skills to the next level with this comprehensive guide! </p><p></p>

Chapter 8. Testing Answerly

In the preceding chapter, we added search to Answerly, our question and answer site. However, as our site's functionality grows, we need to avoid breaking the existing functionality. To make sure that our code keeps working, we will take a closer look at testing our Django project.

In this chapter, we will do the following things:

  • Install Coverage.py to measure code coverage
  • Measure code coverage for our Django project
  • Write a unit test for our model
  • Write a unit test for a view
  • Write a Django integration tests for a view
  • Write a Selenium integration test for a view

Let's start by installing Coverage.py.
