How to change the date/time in Python for all modules?

Using tarantula to test a Rails app

Since Tarantula gets the index action first (and seems to keep a list of unvisited URLs), it ev...

Splitting a test to a set of smaller tests

I want to be able to split a big test to smaller tests so that when the smaller tests pass they imply that the big test would also pass (so there is no reason to run the original big test). I want to do this because smaller tests usually take less time, less effort and are less fragile. I would like to know if there are test design patte...
