May 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Django 1.1 Testing and Debugging, is a new book from Packt that is uniquely aimed at Django developers who want to develop applications with fewer bugs through effective use of automated testing and debugging tools. This book, written by Karen Tracey, will help users ensure that their code is accurate and stable throughout the development and production of their application.

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Django's built-in test framework and debugging support helps lessen bugs which are a time consuming burden during software development. This book teaches develpoer’s efficient techniques for using Django and Python tools to eradicate bugs and ensure that their Django application works correctly.

Using this book, developers will learn about the different kinds of tests available, the pros and cons of each, and also details of test extensions provided by Django that simplify the task of testing Django applications. It will also help them integrate and make use of the rich external environment of test and debugging tools for Python and Django applications. This will help them learn how best to test and debug models, views, URL configuration, templates, and template tags.

The book illustrates how to interpret the extensive debugging information provided by Django's debug error pages, and how to utilize logging and other external tools to learn what code is doing. Using this book, readers will learn how to build a complete application in manageable pieces that can be written, tested, and debugged individually.

With step-by-step instructions, this book is ideal for Django developers who have basic understanding of Python, Django, and the overall structure of a database-driven web application. The book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit: http://www.packtpub.com/django-1-1-testing-and-debugging/...
