Learn how to design and execute unit tests before building a complete application.

Become a Django Developer

This module is an introduction to test-driven development and a practical guide on applying these principles to Django development. We’ll start with learning about automated testing, including the differences between test-driven development and development-driven testing. We’ll then be introduced to Django, a Python framework for building web applications. We’ll design and write a series of unit tests before building a complete web application using Django—a web application that will pass all the tests we designed, to ensure a robust, low-risk experience.

By the end of this module, we’ll be familiar with test-driven development, Red-Green Refactor methodology, and deploying quality applications using Django.
