GSoC 2026 Proposal: Django API Auto-Tester

I would like to propose a project idea for Google Summer of Code:

Project Title: Django API Auto-Tester

Overview:
This project aims to develop an automated testing tool for Django REST APIs to reduce manual testing effort and improve API reliability. Writing and maintaining test cases can be time-consuming, and this tool will help streamline that process by generating and validating tests automatically.

Key Features:

  • Automatic generation of test cases for Django REST Framework APIs

  • Validation of status codes, response structure, and edge cases

  • Detection of common issues such as missing fields and incorrect responses

  • Easy integration with existing Django projects

Expected Outcomes:

  • A reusable and easy-to-use testing tool for Django developers

  • Improved API quality and reliability

  • Reduced time spent on manual testing

I would really appreciate any feedback on the scope and feasibility of this idea. I would also be grateful for guidance and mentorship to refine it further.

Thank you for your time!
