How can I use pytest for benchmarking in Django?

You can use the pytest-benchmark plugin to measure the performance of your Django views and functions. First, install it using pip.

What are the steps to install pytest-benchmark?

Run pip install pytest-benchmark in your terminal. Then, you can create benchmark tests in your Django app.

Can you show me an example of a benchmark test?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import pytest

@pytest.mark.benchmark
def test_my_view(benchmark):
    response = benchmark(my_view_function)
    assert response.status_code == 200

How do I interpret the benchmark results?

The results will show you the time taken for each test run, along with statistics like mean, median, and standard deviation.
