5296	[patch] Additions to TestCase for easy view testing	Chris H. <chris@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"At work we frequently have testing idioms likes this:
def test_x(self):
    ...do database stuff...
    response = self.client.get('/some/url/')
    check the response status code
    check the response template
    check the response content
    check the response content_type

I'm attaching a patch, with tests, that adds a ""check_view"" method to TestCase that wraps up the common idiom of checking the status code, the template, the content and the content_type.

In my mind it's somewhat analogous to render_to_response -- it's a shortcut for a common idiom, and it doesn't prevent you from doing more complex/interesting testing with the other assertX methods."		closed	Testing framework	dev		wontfix	view client unit testing		Unreviewed	1	1	0	0	0	0
