Audience level:

Intermediate

Description

You've just built a REST API and client-side application to consume it. With all your focus on architecture you missed on a critical piece: how do you test it? In this talk we'll look at some of the tools available test this style of application with both Javascript unittests and integration tests written in Python. We'll also look at how to organize them in a sane way for your Django project.
