Contributing tests to an existing project
-------------------------------------------
Say you want to contribute some tests to an existing repository.
After pulling the code into your development space using some
flavor of version control and (optionally) setting up a virtualenv
you will want to run::
cd <repository>
pip install -e . # Environment dependent alternatives include
# 'python setup.py develop' and 'conda develop'
in your project root. This will set up a symlink to your code in
site-packages, allowing you to edit your code while your tests
run against it as if it were installed.
Where to go next
-------------------------------------
Here are a few suggestions where to go next:
* :ref:`cmdline` for command line invocation examples
* :ref:`existingtestsuite` for working with pre-existing tests
* :ref:`good practices <goodpractices>` for virtualenv, test layout
* :ref:`fixtures` for providing a functional baseline to your tests
* :ref:`plugins` managing and writing plugins
