June Meetup: The Tried & Tested

Hello fellow Djangonauts!

Last meetup was awesome, so let's do it again!

We had identified lots of topics for potential future talks and presentations but the one topic that almost no one had touched yet was Test Driven Development with Django. This is not acceptable. We need to fix that :)

---------------------------------

Agenda:

7pm: Welcome and mingle, enjoy some Pizza

7:30pm: Talk: The Django Test Driven Development Cookbook by Martin Brochhaus

Martin is currently working as the CTO of theartling.com and luxglove.com and is maintaining a codebase with ~30k lines of code and ~12k lines of tests. In this 45 minutes talk, he will show how you can setup your first Django test-suite with py.test, how you can create fixtures with mixer and how you can measure test coverage. He will also show common patterns and snippets that will help you overtake the initial hurdles of getting in to testing: How to speed up tests? How to mock third party libraries? How to test forms and class based views with Django's RequestFactory? How to test admin functions and management commands? How to test Django Rest Framework's API views and serializers?

8:30pm. Talk: ??? by ???

We are looking for one more 30-45 minutes talk. If anyone would like to present something, please message Martin Brochhaus on Facebook or here on meetup.com.

9:30pm: The End
