154: Don't Mock your Database - Jeff Triplett
You need tests for your web app. And it has a database. What do you do with the database during testing? Should you use the real thing? or mock it? Jeff Triplett says don't mock it.
In this episode, we talk with Jeff about testing web applications, specifically Django apps, and of course talk about the downsides of database mocking.
