Improving testing coverage


Now, we will write additional unit tests to improve the testing coverage. Specifically, we will write unit tests related to the player class based views: PlayerList and PlayerDetail. Open the existing games/test.py file and insert the following lines after the last line that declares imports. We need a new import statement and we will declare the new PlayerTests class. The code file for the sample is included in the restful_python_chapter_04_05 folder:

from games.models import Player 
 
class PlayerTests(APITestCase): 
    def create_player(self, name, gender): 
        url = reverse('player-list') 
        data = {'name': name, 'gender': gender} 
        response = self.client.post(url, data, format='json') 
        return response 
 
    def test_create_and_retrieve_player(self): 
        """ 
        Ensure we can create a new Player and then retrieve it 
        """ 
        new_player_name = 'New Player' 
        new_player_gender = Player.MALE 
        response...
