Well, a Form is just a class with a bunch of member functions - in your views you instantiate instances of the form and give it data, call is_valid() to validate and clean data. So a test is exactly that. Instantiate your form, give it some sample data, and assert that the data has either thrown an error (i.e., that is_valid() == False and form.errors is populated), or that form.cleaned_data contains the right output. Keep in mind that you don't need to test the core behaviour - Django's test suite will check that a simple integer field will reject character input, etc. All you need to test is your own local extensions, like clean_* methods.
