Expand unit tests for ObjectChange and testing asserts #21361
Description
NetBox version
v4.5.2
Feature type
Other
Proposed functionality
Currently there are some basic tests for ObjectChange records in netbox/utilities/testing/views.py these are run for all models, however they only test that an ObjectChange was created (or deleted) and don't test several critical pieces of functionality like prechange and postchange data.
This FR is to look at adding tests to these for checking prechange and postchange data where possible, or expanding the tests so that tests can be done that a single ObjectChange is created and that the prechange and postchange data match what was expected.
It would also probably be beneficial to add specific assert functions specific to ObjectChange something like assert_prechange_data_equals or such that can be used in tests.
Use case
ObjectChange handling is central to NetBox and netbox-branching is completely driven off of it, so it is critical that it works correctly and it thoroughly tested. There have also been several very serious bugs in netbox-branching due to errors in incorrectly created ObjectChange records. There are some basic tests for all models in netbox/utilities/testing/views.py and these could be fairly easily expanded.
