Answer 1

Have you read through the module development chapter in the documentation? Did you create your module directory under the existing addons directory or somewhere else? If you put it somewhere else, then you either have to create a link from the addons directory to your module, or zip up your module and import it to the server.

As for testing your module, you can create test scenarios as part of the module. They get executed when you create a database with sample data and then install your module on that database.
