| Prep For In‑Class Activities |
- Prepare for Django unit testing discussion and group coding activity
This week, we begin working in our groups to develop unit tests for EZU. Our general
approach is that groups
will be developing unit tests for our last EZU coding assignment. At the conclusion
of the session, we will
compare notes and decide which unit testing approach we like best as a class. In our
following coding assignment,
individual students will get credit for implementing the unit tests that they like
best from the group session
into their EZU project. To get ready for this activity, review the unit testing approach
that was used in Chapter 6
of the Vincent text. Then, do some reading from the resources listed above in Other
Resources. Get some ideas about
how we might get started this week as we work in groups to code unit tests for the
EZU model classes.
