Hello Lucus, I just picked up DRF recently, and I found your article while looking for DRF testing tools! Thank you for writing such an in-depth article. I'm wondering if this is still the preferred approach over the inbuilt rest_framework.test and why?
Hi Estee. You either question the aproach or the toolsets. rest_framework.test is a toolset. A very limited one also. You can barely do anything I talked about in the article with that. You don't have the ease of the commands, nor the customizability of the test runner, nor the several handy plugins.
