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. This change was made to avoid reinforcing gender stereotypes in technology. You can read more about this subject here.
