In this section, I implement a Generic Class Based view and pagination to the index/home view, add pagination to the topics view and topic_posts view, add pagination to the associated templates, refactor the associated urls in urls.py, and refactor the associated tests. I also add a copy link button to copy the link to a topic's replies, a scroll top and scroll bottom button using JavaScript to enable their functionality, and add JavaScript code to make the scrollbar return to the bottom of the page when a pagination item is clicked.

How to measure test coverage in Django
Maria D. Campbell
Coverage.py is the go-to tool for measuring how much of your Django application your tests actually exercise. Here's how to install it, run it against a real project, and interpret the results.

In this section, I create the password_reset routes, views, tests, and templates. The results of the password reset process are output to the Terminal console. I debug the password_reset_confirm_tests tests to find out what the actual csrf token is and hard code it into the test_csrf (function) test. I re-use the Beautiful Soup 4 and Soup Sieve packages to refactor the test_form_inputs (function) test.

In this section, I improve signup.html template design, add a logout view and route, create a dropdown menu for logged in users, create a login.html template, url, and redirect, create a reusable template, add non-field errors to login.html, create custom template tags to use in form.html, and test the template tags.

In this section, I demonstrate an alternative to the original test_form_inputs test in which we used the .assertContains() method to verify the existence of specific inputs residing in the signup form. I install Beautiful Soup 4 and Soup Sieve along with the html5lib HTML parser, and then re-create the test_form_inputs test using those packages. The test is much shorter, and my approach to discovering the ids of the inputs I want to grab by inspecting the signup form element in the browser is quicker and much easier to read!
