-Creating Unit Tests
--------------------
-For every new feature, unit tests should be created that both test and
-(implicitly) document the usage of said feature. If submitting a patch for a
-bug that had no unit test, a new passing unit test should be added. If a
-submitted bug fix does have a unit test, be sure to add a new one that fails
-without the patch and passes with the patch.
-
-For more information on creating unit tests and utilizing the testing
-infrastructure in OpenStack Nova, please read ``nova/tests/README.rst``.
