python - How to create django view inside tests -

i have utility, consist of middleware, , need test it. need view emulate user request , i'm trying create view inside test , use in testcase. don't know how create , assign test application.

i have settings test django application in run_tests.py file:

from django.conf import settings, global_settings  app_name = 'my_app' conf_kwargs = dict(     databases={         'default': {             'engine': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',             'name': 'test.db',             'test_name': 'test.db'         }     },     site_id=1,     middleware_classes=global_settings.middleware_classes + ('my_app.middleware.mymiddleware',),     installed_apps=(         'django.contrib.auth',         'django.contrib.contenttypes',         'django.contrib.sessions',         'django.contrib.sites',     ) )  settings.configure(**conf_kwargs)  django.test.utils import get_runner runner = get_runner(settings)() failures = runner.run_tests((app_name,)) 

and in tests.py file i'm trying:

from django.contrib.auth.models import user django.http import httpresponse django.test import requestfactory, testcase   def active_view(request):     return httpresponse('<h1>test view has responsed<h1>')   class activeuserstest(testcase):      def setup(self):         self.factory = requestfactory()         self.user = user.objects.create_user(username='test', email='test@test.com', password='secret')      def test_view(self):         request = self.factory.get(active_view)         request.user = self.user         response = active_view(request)          self.assertequal(response.status_code, 200) 

should separate test application goals? example running django 1.6
