Test Pyramid Guidance¶

Test Scope Heuristics¶

• Unit tests: pure logic, serializers, validation helpers.
• Integration tests: views, forms, permissions, query behavior.
• Smoke checks: high-value end-to-end user workflows.

Fast Feedback Loop¶

docker compose run --rm app sh -c "DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=app.settings_test PYTHONPATH=. pytest --collect-only -q"
docker compose run --rm app sh -c "DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=app.settings_test PYTHONPATH=. pytest -q"

Coverage and Quality¶

• Respect configured coverage threshold.
• Add targeted tests for changed paths and edge conditions.
• Prefer deterministic fixtures and factory-based setup.
