I understand the importance of unit testing. However, if we are going to write integration tests (testing the views), this test will step through all of the modules that we would otherwise unit test.So, I'm wondering, it it really necessary to write unit test for Django Applications when we will still test the views?
1. If you don't unit test your bits and pieces AND you call them in your views they might pass with wrong values. Subtle errors can creep in if your views are tested too coarsely.
2. The more fine-grained the unit tests the easier it is to refactor your view code.
3. Do you use Coverage? You will see all the Django code is tested. Only your own code to test
I do integration testing at a high level as well as down low. Really does wonders for refactoring confidence.
