The regex pattern that is constructed for an endpoint is not stable. For
instance, in my project I have seen it construct each of the following:
{{{
^admin/^(?P<app_label>social_django|authtoken|queues|jobs|files|users|clusters|appps|auth|vdcs)/$
^admin/^(?P<app_label>social_django|auth|users|vdcs|appps|jobs|queues|authtoken|clusters|files)/$
^admin/^(?P<app_label>authtoken|appps|social_django|clusters|users|queues|jobs|vdcs|auth|files)/$
^admin/^(?P<app_label>authtoken|appps|social_django|clusters|users|queues|vdcs|jobs|auth|files)/$
}}}
This precludes the use of patterns in unit tests.

Comment:
It seems to me that such a URL introspection test in your project is
testing an internal implementation in Django that could be subject to
change in the future. Can you give an idea of what regressions you're
looking to test for? I wonder if a test that inspects `_registry` (or
perhaps better yet, uses the `site.is_registered()` method) would be more
appropriate.
