30.3.1 Testing
The most glaring omission in this book is testing. There is simply no way to build a website as large as the one in this book without tests, and the website we built was not particularly difficult in the grand scheme of things. Test-driven development (TDD) and behavior-driven development (BDD) are both considered great ways to add testing to projects, and Harry Percival’s Test-Driven Development with Python teaches TDD while building a Django site. Had this been an intermediate book, we would have added multiple tests for each of our views, as well as tests for forms, and a few very simple tests for model methods.
