How to avoid creating test database for testing in django?
python manage.py test -kIn Django 1.8, you can use -k command.
New in Django 1.8: You can prevent the test databases from being destroyed by adding the --keepdb flag to the test command. This will preserve the test database between runs. If the database does not exist, it will first be created. Any migrations will also be applied in order to keep it up to date.
You can read this for more details:https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/testing/overview/#the-test-database
Well, it's just a comment, not an answer yet - so I'll repeat the comment of Rahul Gupta:
Just subclass from SimpleTestCase instead of TestCase, see Django Testing Tools Documentation.
