Thanks RequestFactory does exactly what I needed it is a pity that I had ignored it while going through the docs.
There is however one question I have is it possible to check what template was used to render the content. The assertTemplateUsed() method looks for a response.templates attribute that does not exist as part of the response returned from the view. response.template (please note the lack of the 's' at the end) is also a deprecated feature and the django source says that response.templates should be used instead. I cannot think of any other way to check what template was rendered and wondered if you have any pointers in this respect. Thanks once again.
