django_apptest is a command-line utility for testing your pluggable Django apps outside of a fully-configured project. It will bootstrap Django and run the tests inside your app without having to create a Django project, fill out a settings.py file or any other preparation.

To run the test suite on an app called my_app, cd into the directory above the my_app directory and run:

$ django_apptest my_app

The simplest way of using django_apptest as a module is via the DjangoAppTest class.

>>> from django_apptest import DjangoAppTest
>>> DjangoAppTest('my_app', 'your_app').run_tests()
