Comment:
Hello Shiva Kumar,
Thank you for your report, and helping make Django better.
Django's testing framework, like many parts of the framework, relies
heavily on the dynamic nature of Python. This dynamic nature means that
functions can often be used in multiple ways, as you pointed out. While
Django provides a lot of built-in validations and utilities, it cannot
cover every possible misuse case. Enforcing stricter checks or keyword-
only arguments could reduce some flexibility and introduce backward
compatibility issues.
In my opinion, the docs are clear about the correct usage of
`assertTemplateUsed`. It says:
> response must be a response instance returned by the test client.
Given the above, I'll close the ticket accordingly, but if you disagree,
you can consider starting a new conversation on the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/5 Django Forum], where you'll
reach a wider audience.
