Description
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/testing/advanced/ says:
"After each test, Django calls flush to reset the database state"
It is it flushed after every test method? or only after all methods of a test class run (without flushing between methods of the same class)?

My understanding is that in Python, "test" is a synonym for "test method." For example the test runner says something like, "Ran 85 tests" at the end of a test suite run. I'm not sure if the wording needs to be clarified or not. Likely there are other places in the documentation that use "test" as a shorthand for "test method". This is also the case in Python's unittest documentation.
