General Testing

Tests are run on Travis for every commit. They can also be run locally too (setup may vary depending on platform):

virtualenv env
. env/bin/activate
pip install nose
pip install -e . --egg
nosetests tests/

Testing Specific Databases

By default tests are run against sqlite. While this is sufficient in many cases it's generally best to test against the database type you wish to use. Setup wise the only difference will be in the call to nosetests:

PYFARM_DATABASE_URI="dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database" nosetests tests/

For more information on database URIs see sqlalchemy's documentation or the Travis configuration.
