How can I implement error handling tests in Django REST Framework?

You can implement error handling tests in Django REST Framework by using the built-in test framework. Start by creating test cases that simulate various error scenarios.

What types of errors should I test for?

You should test for validation errors, authentication errors, permission errors, and any custom exceptions your API might raise.

Can you show me a sample test case?

Sure! Here's a simple test case for a validation error:

from rest_framework.test import APITestCase
from rest_framework import status

class MyAPITests(APITestCase):
    def test_validation_error(self):
        response = self.client.post('/api/my-endpoint/', {'field': 'invalid_value'})
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
