GraphQLTestCase inherits from Django's TestCase, which requires a database

See original GitHub issue

I’m using Django in a project which doesn’t use a database, however I can’t use graphene-django’s GraphQLTestCase, as it inherits from Django’s TestCase (I’m using SimpleTestCase elsewhere).

Could GraphQLTestCase extend from SimpleTestCase? Or if this is not desired because the most common usage does involve a database, could we move the methods to a mixin, so I can use this in combination with SimpleTestCase?

I can’t see anything in GraphQLTestCase which actually requires a Django database to be configured.

Maybe another test class like GraphQLSimpleTestCase?

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
