How do I test a Django REST API?

You can test a Django REST API using tools like Postman, or by writing unit tests with Django's test framework.

What are some best practices for writing tests?

Best practices include testing all endpoints, using fixtures for data, and ensuring your tests are isolated and repeatable.

Can you show me an example of a test case?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from rest_framework.test import APITestCase
from django.urls import reverse

class MyAPITestCase(APITestCase):
    def test_example_endpoint(self):
        response = self.client.get(reverse('example-list'))
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)

What libraries can help with testing?

You can use libraries like Factory Boy for creating test data, and pytest for a more powerful testing framework.
