steps involved in test-driven development

As Django co-founder Jacob Kaplan-Moss says, “code without tests is broken as designed.” That’s why it’s essential to develop your applications with tests and success conditions in mind.

This course is an introduction to test-driven development and a practical guide on applying these principles to Django development. You’ll start with the purpose of automated testing, including the differences between test-driven development and development-driven testing. You’ll then be introduced to Django, a Python framework for building web applications. You’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 you designed, to ensure a robust, low-risk experience.

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

Build Robust Applications with Test-driven Development in Django

This is the end of the fourth chapter. Let’s have a short recap of what was covered and the key takeaways.

- In this chapter, we learned about web forms and their importance in today’s web applications. We saw several use cases of a web form in a website.
- Additionally, we saw how to create a web form in HTML with some input fields.
We were introduced to the concept of cross-site request forgery or CSRF and how Django helps protect our web application from this vulnerability.
- We also learned to create a web form in Django programmatically, using Python instead of regular HTML.
- All the steps were taken in a test-driven way where we write our test before actually writing the code.
- Finally, we saw how to use templates in Django and learned to import a styling package like Bootstrap.

This is a short recap of what was covered in the fourth chapter.
