+\refmodule{unittest} module and follow a few guidelines.
One is to have the name of all the test methods start with \code{"test_"} as
well as the module's name.
This is needed so that the methods are recognized by the test driver as
test methods.
Also, no documentation string for the method should be included.
A comment (such as
-\var{# Tests function returns only True or False}) should be used to provide
+\code{\# Tests function returns only True or False}) should be used to provide
documentation for test methods.
This is done because documentation strings get printed out if they exist and
thus what test is being run is not stated.
