If you are using multiple database like:

# settings.py
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
    },
    'other': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'other.sqlite3',
    }
}

You may use TransactionTestCase like:

# test.py
class TestMyViews(TransactionTestCase):
    databases = {'default', 'other'}

    def test_index_page_view(self):
        call_some_test_code()

reference the document here.

I don't know if mongoengine works, you could have a try.
