+# URLPatternsTestCase
+
+REST framework also provides a test case class for isolating `urlpatterns` on a per-class basis. Note that this inherits from Django's `SimpleTestCase`, and will most likely need to be mixed with another test case class.

+    from django.urls import include, path, reverse
+    from rest_framework.test import APITestCase, URLPatternsTestCase
+
+
+    class AccountTests(APITestCase, URLPatternsTestCase):
