✅

If you are just testing for development purposes, I’d recommend setting your testing database to use sqlite3, which will leverage an in-memory database by default and should speed up tests.

I usually put this into local_settings which only gets executed for my dev environment…

if 'test' in sys.argv:
    DATABASES['default'] = {'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3'}

If you are planning to push a release to a production environment, you’ll want to test against the engine which is serving your production database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc).
