django.test.client.RequestFactory

class documentation

class RequestFactory:

Class that lets you create mock Request objects for use in testing.

Usage:

rf = RequestFactory() get_request = rf.get('/hello/') post_request = rf.post('/submit/', {'foo': 'bar'})

Once you have a request object you can pass it to any view function, just as if that view had been hooked up using a URLconf.
