Integrating tests with the build process

There's only one story/task set remaining how to integrate unit tests with whatever build process will be put into play for the component projects:

• As a developer, I need to know how to integrate unit tests for a component project into the build process for that component project so that builds can automatically execute unit tests:
  • Determine how to integrate unit tests into the build process
  • Determine how to deal with build/test integration for different environments

With the unit testing structures just defined in place in a component project, integrating them into a build process is relatively easily accomplished. In a setup.py file-based build, the test modules can be specified in the test_suite ...
