How can I test authentication backends in Django?

You can use Django's built-in testing framework to create tests for your authentication backends. Start by importing the necessary modules.

What modules do I need to import?

You should import django.test.TestCase and your authentication backend class. For example: from django.test import TestCase.

Can you give me an example of a test case?

Sure! Here's a simple test case:

from django.test import TestCase
from yourapp.backends import YourAuthBackend

class YourAuthBackendTests(TestCase):
    def test_authenticate(self):
        user = YourAuthBackend().authenticate(username='testuser', password='testpass')
        self.assertIsNotNone(user)
