     261The Django tests all use the testing infrastructure that ships with Django for 
     262testing applications. See `Testing Django Applications`_ for an explanation of 
     263how to write new tests.

    262267Running the unit tests 
    …… 
    269274Yes, the unit tests need a settings module, but only for database connection 
    270275info -- the ``DATABASE_ENGINE``, ``DATABASE_USER`` and ``DATABASE_PASSWORD``. 
    271  
    272 The unit tests will not touch your database; they create a new database, called 
    273 ``django_test_db``, which is deleted when the tests are finished. This means 
    274 your user account needs permission to execute ``CREATE DATABASE``. 
     276You will also need a ``ROOT_URLCONF`` setting (it's value is ignored; it just 
     277needs to be present) and a ``SITE_ID`` setting (any integer value will do) in 
     278order for all the tests to pass. 
     279 
     280The unit tests will not touch your existing databases; they create a new 
     281database, called ``django_test_db``, which is deleted when the tests are 
     282finished. This means your user account needs permission to execute ``CREATE 
     283DATABASE``.
