# Model Bakery: Smart fixtures for better tests

Model Bakery offers you a smart way to create fixtures for testing in Django.

With a simple and powerful API, you can create many objects with a single line of code.

Model Bakery is a rename of the legacy [model_mommy\'s project](https://pypi.org/project/model_mommy/). This is because the project\'s creator and maintainers decided to not reinforce gender stereotypes for women in technology. You can read more about this subject[here](https://witi.com/articles/1017/How-Gender-Stereotypes-are-Still-Affecting-Women-in-Tech/).
