#2050 assigned enhancement

Expand HowToWriteTests to packaging and distribution tests

Reported by: nejucomo Owned by: blaisep
Priority: normal Milestone: User Documentation Goals
Component: documentation Version: 1.10.0
Keywords: packaging dev-infrastructure documentation test Cc:
Launchpad Bug:

Description

This should inform the reader to distinguish between unittests and packaging tests, then give examples of each. If there are multiple distinctions of packaging tests (see #2049), then maybe there should also be different examples for each.

If that HOWTO is too large, we might split it up into more specific pages, eg HOWTO write a unittest., versus HOWTO write a packaging test, versus HOWTO write a distribution test.

Of course, this should cover how to get it reviewed and accepted also.
