By "test server" I assume you mean the built-in Django development server. The development server is running in a completely different process from your test case, so your options are somewhat limited. The development server does a really good job of staying alive, so you can't raise KeyboardInterrupt or sys.exit() because the development server will simply restart. I would probably create a special view that you van call from your test case, e.g. GET http://localhost:8000/killme, which finds the process ID of itself (the development server) and signals it to stop. Something like this: class KillMe(View): def get(request): import os import signal pid = os.getpid() os.kill(pid, signal.SIGINT) Depending on your needs, you might need to let your test case wait until the development server process has actually terminated.
