What are some advanced testing techniques in Django?

Django offers several advanced testing techniques, such as using factories for test data, mocking external services, and testing asynchronous views.

Can you explain how to use factories in Django testing?

Sure! Factories, like those provided by the Factory Boy library, allow you to create test data easily and consistently. You define a factory for your model, and then you can create instances with default values.

What about mocking external services?

Mocking external services can be done using the unittest.mock library. It allows you to replace parts of your system under test and make assertions about how they were used.

How do I test asynchronous views in Django?

To test asynchronous views, you can use Django's AsyncClient to make requests to your views and check the responses, just like with synchronous views.
