@cmaiacd factory_boy: what is it?
@cmaiacd It is a fixtures replacement
@cmaiacd Based on factory_bot (Thoughtbot)
@cmaiacd First version: Django only Nowadays: framework-independent Unittest, Pytest...
@cmaiacd For complex objects: ❌ Fixtures: static, hard to maintain
✅ Factories: easy-to-use
@cmaiacd
@cmaiacd 🧰 🛠 🔧 ⚙ Sequence Faker Fuzzy attributes LazyFunction
LazyAttribute Inheritance Inheritance Params Traits Strategies RelatedFactory / SubFactory
@cmaiacd My Experience
@cmaiacd +3 years Django Monolith 🐘
@cmaiacd +230 tables +2200 relevant files +75k relevant lines
@cmaiacd
@cmaiacd A poorly designed factory might affect many tests
@cmaiacd Implicit errors
@cmaiacd The tests are created in a way to fit
the factory factory-oriented testing
@cmaiacd Factories can get too tied
@cmaiacd Developers bump into the same issue again and again
@cmaiacd Patterns 👀 Best practices? 🤔

@cmaiacd Best Practices
@cmaiacd 1. FACTORIES SHOULD REPRESENT THEIR MODELS
@cmaiacd Avoid implicit errors
@cmaiacd BAD ❌
@cmaiacd GOOD ✅
@cmaiacd 2. DO NOT RELY ON DEFAULTS FROM FACTORIES
@cmaiacd • If a default value is changed, all tests
that depend on it will break • The setup of a test should contain all the logic to ensure it will always pass • Explicit better than implicit
@cmaiacd BAD ❌
@cmaiacd GOOD ✅
@cmaiacd 3. FACTORIES SHOULD CONTAIN ONLY THE REQUIRED DATA
@cmaiacd If the field is nullable (null=True) the attribute should
be under a trait and not as a default value
@cmaiacd BAD ❌
@cmaiacd GOOD ✅
@cmaiacd If we want to have an author, we can
use PollFactory(with_author=True) now When are we going to remember to test the case PollFactory(author=None)? We should not assume there is an author when DB actually allows to not have it.
@cmaiacd 4. BUILD OVER CREATE
@cmaiacd MyFactory.build() creates a local object (memory) MyFactory.create() creates a
local object + stores it in the DB
@cmaiacd BAD ❌
@cmaiacd GOOD ✅
@cmaiacd BUILD STRATEGY ========== 14 passed in 1.76 seconds ==========
CREATE STRATEGY ========== 14 passed in 3.26 seconds ==========
@cmaiacd 5. IF FK IS IN THE TABLE: SUBFACTOR IF
FK IS IN THE OTHER TABLE: RELATEDFACTORY + TRAIT
@cmaiacd SubFactory: builds/creates the SubFactory during the process of creation
of the main factory RelatedFactory: builds/creates the RelatedFactory after creating the main factory
@cmaiacd Good ✅
@cmaiacd 6. USE FIXTURES TO WRAP FACTORIES TO AVOID DUPLICATION
@cmaiacd BAD ❌
@cmaiacd GOOD ✅
@cmaiacd 7. AVOID SHARING FACTORIES OR FIXTURES AMONG DIFFERENT FILES
@cmaiacd Many tests depending on the same factory/fixture
@cmaiacd Tends to inflate the factory/fixture
@cmaiacd Hard to maintain
@cmaiacd Change a factory/fixture… tons of tests breaking
@cmaiacd Fixture / Factory oriented testing
@cmaiacd Ok, ok, I got it! 😌 Now I know
the best practices 💪
@cmaiacd So let’s try to fix one first factory… 🤓
