Seems useful.

Is there a way to integrate this with a development version of Django? I.e. the Client() is really useful to test the backend but it could be great to also use this library to test the front-end. I mean, it's a bit "late" to test the front-end if it's already live no?



If my live front-end breaks, I certainly want to be the first to know that.

Yes. I have cron-jobs running tests on live sites looking for broken things.


So that means you can only test read-only features of your site then? I can't imagine you want dummy test data floating around your production servers.

I don't know if this really qualifies as an acceptance test, it's more like an advanced version of Pingdom.


It really depends on how your application is structured. If only the test sees the test data, you can easily do it on the live site. If there were a hundred test accounts in gmail sending mail back an forth to and from other services, you would never know.
