Well nose is simply a test runner. Create some functions with a 
particular syntax and nose will run it. What you do inside the function 
can be anything as long as you signal a pass/fail condition for nose to 
report. We use nose for both unit testing as well as running automated 
system tests.

nose also supports plugins that you can write to change it's default 
behaviour.
