+AsyncRequestFactory
+-------------------

+``RequestFactory`` creates WSGI-like requests. If you want to create ASGI-like
+requests, including having a correct ASGI ``scope``, you can instead use
+``django.test.AsyncRequestFactory``.

+difference being that it returns ``ASGIRequest`` instances rather than
+``WSGIRequest`` instances. All of its methods are still synchronous callables.
