It provides a Migrator class to apply migrations in isolation, inspect database state before and after, and verify that data is preserved correctly. It also validates migration ordering and dependencies, and detects rollback issues. The library integrates with pytest (via fixtures and markers) and unittest (via a base test case), and supports factory_boy for creating test data.\n\nYou use it by applying an initial migration to set up a before-state, then applying the migration you want to test, then asserting on the resulting model structure and data. This catches bugs in complex schema or data transformations that unit tests alone won't catch. It's particularly useful when migrations modify existing data, add constraints, or change relationships\u2014situations where silent data corruption is a real risk.","worth_installing":"Yes. If you maintain Django projects with non-trivial migrations (data transformations, schema changes, rollbacks), this package is worth installing. It has low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, a permissive license, and solves a real problem\u2014catching migration bugs before production. Start with it if you're already using pytest or unittest."},"id":"django-test-migrations","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-test-migrations","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-test-migrations.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-test-migrations/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-05","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-test-migrations","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Test django schema and data migrations, including ordering"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":658190,"position":5470,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.0"}
