11593	Incomplete support for app-level testing	Masklinn	Raphael Kimmig	"Django and its community have a pretty strong focus on the concept of reusable applications: applications as pluggable behavior blocks, independent from one another and from projects. And the test framework documentation and setup emphasize that: the documentation page is called [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/ Testing Django applications] and the test themselves are saved at the application level not at the project level.

Yet Django provides no provision whatsoever for running tests from an application: a project (or at least a settings and a urls file) is required, and barring fairly weird setups (global settings and urls modules) there is no way to create a new app, write a test and run it just like that. Which means applications aren't as self-contained as they could be, and can't easily be tested ""in a void"" (independently of everything else)."
