How can I test authentication in Django?

You can use Django's built-in test framework to create tests for your authentication views. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of a test for the login view.

Sure! You can create a test case like this:

from django.test import TestCase
from django.urls import reverse

class LoginViewTests(TestCase):
    def test_login_view(self):
        response = self.client.post(reverse('login'), {'username': 'testuser', 'password': 'testpass'})
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
        self.assertContains(response, 'Welcome')

What about testing logout functionality?

For logout, you can test it similarly by checking the response after a logout request. Would you like to see that?
