# Test Runners

Most of the code examples shown so far have used the Django TestCase to explain how Model Bakery is used.

However, pytest (with the pytest-django plugin) is often preferred for it’s simplicity and other benefits. See here.

The following examples show Model Bakery usage with different test runners.

## Django

        # Core Django imports
        from django.test import TestCase

        # Third-party app imports
        from model_bakery import baker

        from shop.models import Customer

        class CustomerTestModel(TestCase):
            """
            Class to test the model Customer
            """

            def setUp(self):
                """Set up test class."""
                self.customer = baker.make(Customer)

            def test_using_customer(self):
                """Test function using baked model."""
                self.assertIsInstance(self.customer, Customer)

## pytest

        # pytest import
        import pytest

        # Third-party app imports
        from model_bakery import baker

        from shop.models import Customer

        @pytest.fixture
        def customer():
            """Fixture for baked Customer model."""
            return baker.make(Customer)

        def test_using_customer(customer):
            """Test function using fixture of baked model."""
            assert isinstance(customer, Customer)
