Testing
=======

RESTArt provides a small set of tools that come in handy when writing tests.

The test client
---------------

The test client is a Python class that acts as a dummy Web client, allowing you to test your resources and interact with your RESTArt-powered APIs programmatically.

-------------------

The :class:`~restart.testing.RequestFactory` provides a way to generate a request instance that can be used as the first argument to any resource. This means you can test a resource very easy.
