Akita Django Integration

This package extends django.test.Client in order to instrument Django integration tests, capturing requests and responses to the service under test. You can drop in akita_django.test.Client everywhere you use Django's Client, and Akita will use your integration tests to build a spec for your service.

Why build specs? A spec shows your service's APIs. Using Akita to build specs from your integration tests makes it clear what APIs your code implements -- and you can diff specs, showing what impact a code change will have on your customers. For more info, see Catching Breaking Changes Faster in the Akita docs.

See it in Action

Take a look at the Akibox Django Tutorial, which implements a toy Dropbox-like file server and tests it using the Akita Django Integration.

Middleware

This package also provides a Django Middleware class that sends requests and responses to the Akita CLI, running in Daemon mode. See Django on Heroku in the Akita docs for more information.
