What are the best practices for testing Django REST async applications?

When testing Django REST async applications, consider using tools like pytest and pytest-asyncio for effective async testing.

How do I set up pytest for my Django project?

You can set up pytest by installing it via pip, then creating a pytest.ini file to configure your settings.

What about testing API endpoints?

For testing API endpoints, use Django's test client or HTTPX to make requests and assert responses asynchronously.

Can you give an example of an async test?

Sure! Here's a simple async test using pytest-asyncio:

import pytest
from httpx import AsyncClient

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_example(client: AsyncClient):
    response = await client.get('/api/example/')
    assert response.status_code == 200
