 1Hello and welcome!  Thanks for taking the time to work on Nose.
 2
 3Run the Test Suite
 4==================
 5
 6Install `tox`_ so that it's accessible on $PATH somehow.  Then cd into the source and type::
 7
 8  $ tox
 9
10.. _`tox`: http://codespeak.net/tox/
11
12That will try to run tests in all of the Python interpreters that Nose
13supports.  If you don't have one of those versions installed please ask for
14assistance so you don't develop an incompatible feature.
15
16For a quick spot check of the tests you can test against a specific version
17like this::
18
19  $ tox -e py26
20
21All Features Must Have Tests
22============================
23
24Well, duh.  If you get stuck on this just ask.  There are lots of ways to
25make quick regression tests out of nose based suites.
