Testing Hooke
*************

Hooke's test framework is build using doctest_, unittest_, and nose_.
`nosetests` (from the `nose` package) scans through the source
tree, searching out the various tests and running them.  If you aren't
familiar with `nose`, there is excellent documentation on its home
page.  We use `nose` because its auto-discovery allows us to avoid
collecting all of our assorted tests into `unittest.TestSuite`\s and
running them by hand.

To run the test suite from the Hooke installation directory, just use::

    nosetests --with-doctest --doctest-tests

.. _doctest: http://docs.python.org/library/doctest.html
.. _unittest: http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html
.. _nose: http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/0.11.3/


Adding tests to modules
-----------------------

Just go crazy with doctests and unittests; `nose` will find them.
