How to start doing TDD in a django project? [closed]

Question

I have read a lot of essays talking about benifits TDD can bring to a project, but I have never practiced TDD in my own project before.

Now I'm starting an experimental project with Django, and I think maybe I can have a try of TDD.

But what I find now is that I don't even know how to answer the question "what should I put in my test cases?".

Please tell me how should I plan TDD in a project, in this case, a web project based on Django.

Thanks.

I've started writing a tutorial on the topic. It covers pretty much all the steps in the official Django tutorial, and it includes full browser-automation testing with Selenium, so you can test javascript too...

[edit 2013-04-15] I'm now writing a book for O'Reilly on the topic. IMO it presents things in a much better way that my old tutorial. Check it out at
