How to create django models for tests?

Question

Django

I started to deal with testing in Django and the task arose to test the Aggregations, QuerySet, Managers, etc. written by me. For more convenient testing, I would like to create separate models only for tests and so that they do not fall into production. What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

Firstly, in production, tests do not need to be run. And secondly, tests should be run in a separate database.
Check out pytest and django-pytest.
Here you can see test examples

Answer 4

Use a different database for tests

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': ':memory:'
    }
}
