Following my previous article on how to build an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system with Twilio, Python and Django, in this follow-up tutorial I show how to write automated tests for this system.
It can be very challenging to test a system that rely heavily on a third party service such as Twilio. In this article, I show how to organize your code in a way that would isolate your business logic and make it easier to test separately. The article demonstrate useful testing patterns using Django's RequestFactory, unittest.mock, Pytest fixtures, build-in django-pytest and many more.
