+Test Design
+=============
+
+Our tests are based on the unittest framework. Tests for modules usually reside in a subdirectory called "test".
+
+If you write a test, then you usually have the following lines at the start of your test::
+
+ import autopath
+ from pypy.tool import test
+
+For the time being, please refer to a pypy-dev mail_ for more info.
+
+
+Command line tool test_all
+---------------------------
+
+PyPy's current testing framework (since revision 831) is driven by the command line src/pypy/test_all.py tool. Simply change to the pypy root directory and issue::
+
+
+  python test_all.py
+
+
+which will run all tests against the Trivial Object Space. If you want to test against the StandardObjectSpace then issue::
+
+
+  python test_all.py -S
+
+
+For more switches invoke "python test_all.py -h".
