django-autotest's Introduction

django-autotest

Autotest automatically runs django tests when python files change.

It only runs the tests from the django app in which the file(s) changed
If you change a test_*.py file, only the tests in that file are run
If tests fail it keeps running only the failed tests on subsequent changes

$ autotest
Watching for changes to python files...
