Your tests, or the output they produce, look awesome. Can you elaborate on your setup? Just today I was looking for an up to date introduction for testing in django, but could only find some older blog posts. So I would be glad if you could detail your setup a bit.

I'll write it and let you guys know :-)

I've basically been following some Ruby people for the last couple of months - and worked at a Ruby shop myself last year - they happen to know a lot more about testing than us, pythonistas, but hey, it's very good to learn, at least Mock being included into Python3 is a step in the right (well that depends what camp are you in) direction.

The first one looks like nose with coverage, and the second like pinocchio with coverage. There are various ways to get those running with Django, but yes, a blog post would be nice.

Just don't get all caught up in 100% test coverage, it's not very useful. You should test edge cases that run the same code more than obvious cases that run new code.
