I'm not sure why you want to do this at all, or why you want to do it
in the way you describe. Django's forms framework is fully tested by
Django's own tests - your tests should concentrate on testing the code
you've actually written.
In any case, your snippet isn't verifying that the output contains the
bad value. it's verifying that the field object has the value - which
you already know, because you put it there. Again, you're testing
something that is fully covered by the built-in test framework.
If despite this you really do want to test that the output has the
value, why don't you just check the content of the response?
self.assertContains(response, ("<input id='id_iteration'
name='iteration' value='bad data'>")
or whatever the format of the output is.
