Unit tests

----------

`CubicWeb` framework provides essentially two Python test classes in the

module `cubicweb.devtools.apptest`:

* `EnvBasedTC`, to simulate a complete environment (web + repository)

* `RepositoryBasedTC`, to simulate a repository environment only

Thos two classes almost have the same interface and offers numerous methods to

write tests rapidely and efficiently.

XXX FILLME describe API

In most of the cases, you will inherit `EnvBasedTC` to write Unittest or

functional tests for your entities, views, hooks, etc...

Email notifications tests

-------------------------

When running tests potentially generated e-mails are not really

This list is reset at each test *setUp* (by the setUp of classes `EnvBasedTC`

and `RepositoryBasedTC`).

You can test your notifications by analyzing the contents of this list, which

contains objects with two attributes:

* `recipients`, the list of recipients

* `msg`, object email.Message

Automatic testing
