[TIP] About patching(mocking) forms in Django tests

[David Stanek]

I mock out forms when I want to test the view, but I don't want the
validation to be triggered.  I see no need to craft test data that passes
validation when testing the view.  Doing so means that my view test can now
be broken by changing the validation requirements.  This coupling is
usually a bad thing.
