Testing RESTful web services in Django -- Tantalizingly Close.

How Essential Is Unit Testing? Or, How Do We Make It Essential?
A client said they couldn't do unit testing. I've seen blog postings about how hard it is. I think I may see the underlying problem. While it is funny to see people try to wriggle out of testing, what I think is required is a set of meta-quality attributes.

may not be appropriate as a stand-alone testing tool. However, it has some
