Test-Driven Django Models

Building a web application requires a solid database foundation, but writing models without verification often leads to fragile code and unexpected database migrations. This course teaches you how to design Django models with confidence by writing your tests first. You will learn to structure your database schema, handle relationships, and ensure your data logic remains robust as your application grows. By shifting to a test-driven workflow, you will catch database errors early and build highly maintainable web backends. What you will learn: Understand Django model fundamentals, field types, and database migrations; Write unit tests using pytest-django to verify model behavior and constraints; Establish secure and correct database relationships, including foreign keys and many-to-many fields; Implement clean database queries and custom model managers; Apply modern type hints and validation rules to ensure data integrity; Configure clean, isolated test databases for local development. The course starts with essential database terminology and foundational Django testing concepts before guiding you through structured, written exercises. This program is designed for backend developers, software engineers, and Python enthusiasts who want to adopt professional test-driven development habits from scratch.
