Description
We need better documentation on how to author unit tests. This should go in docs/source/devel/ on its own page, maybe "writing tests" or some such.
The following should be mentioned:
- How to run tests (even though this is covered elsewhere)
- What tools we use (pytest, webtest)
- A simple "writing a unit test" example
- Show to pass an application fixture into a test
- Show how to set it up with different configs (I can explain this on IRC)

I'm working on this in this repository:
https://gitorious.org/mediagoblin-automation/mediagoblin-selenium
Right now it's in the form of the docs/ folder in plain text but I plan to move it toward reStructuredText.

No progress on this on my end. It would probably be more fruitful to copy what I've written for functional tests and make it into reStructedText and then add more information about how to do Unit Tests.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
As part of my OPW internship I will be implementing this.
