How to split Django app tests across several files

Question

I'm working on a Django 1.2 app and I'm a kind of beginner with the framework. I want to split my tests in several files for the app https://github.com/vkhemlan/BolsaTrabajo/tree/master/bolsa_trabajo, how I can do that? What configurations do I have to do?

The link is dead. Relevant, minimal code should be included with the question so it's free of dependencies and won't rot like this. Thanks. — ggorlen, Nov 29 '21 at 00:14

Here's a really good guide on testing django apps: A Guide to Testing in Django

And the example app on github splits the tests for forms, views and models into separate files, so it is probably a good example for you.

Note how each test module gets imported in __init__.py:

from polls.tests.forms import *
from polls.tests.models import *
from polls.tests.views import *

As of Django 1.6 this no longer works. See this answer for an updated solution: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20932450/15676 – Adam J. Forster Oct 03 '14 at 11:47
