Django Windmill Tests – GSOC Progress Update
Posted on June 25th, 2009 3 commentsI feel that a status update is long overdue, but as the corpus of Windmill tests grows, so does the time it takes to run a complete instance of the regression suite. However, I do have some fun progress to report as well as a few questions/problems that are showing themselves now that all the fluff is over. First, let’s talk about the fun stuff!
I do have 3 of my major improvements/fixes/restructures to django.test somewhat complete. At the moment they are lacking most in documentation, a problem I intended to rectify later this week.
- Windmill Tests: Windmill test runners are nearly complete, threaded development server for AJAX widget testing complete.
- Code Coverage: Coverage.py support for runtests.py and management command. Extensible system is easily pluggable with other coverage systems.
- Test-Only Models: This is still a topic of discussion, but adding the property ‘test_models’ to a TestSuite will load and wipe the models. Has tests and limited docs.
My major TODO’s still outstanding:
- Documentation!
- Twill Runner Support (Utilizing the Windmill Threaded Server)
- Windmill Admin Regression Tests (Healthy set of tests written, need to document and finish more)
- Skip tests that are known to fail
- Test new features/API’s
That’s it for now, more updates are available on the django-dev list!

Nicee update! Thanks.
BTW, PushToTest TestMaker 5.4 will ship with Windmill integrated. That adds load testing and business service monitoring to what Windmill can do. TestMaker can also run tests in a cloud environment. And it may be able to help you with running the tests faster and in parallel. Details at http://www.pushtotest.com.
