How to launch tests for django reusable app?

The correct usage of Django (>= 1.4) test runner is as follows:

import django, sys
from django.conf import settings

settings.configure(DEBUG=True,
               DATABASES={
                    'default': {
                        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
                    }
                },
               ROOT_URLCONF='myapp.urls',
               INSTALLED_APPS=('django.contrib.auth',
                              'django.contrib.contenttypes',
                              'django.contrib.sessions',
                              'django.contrib.admin',
                              'myapp',))

try:
    # Django < 1.8
    from django.test.simple import DjangoTestSuiteRunner
    test_runner = DjangoTestSuiteRunner(verbosity=1)
except ImportError:
    # Django >= 1.8
    django.setup()
    from django.test.runner import DiscoverRunner
    test_runner = DiscoverRunner(verbosity=1)

failures = test_runner.run_tests(['myapp'])
if failures:
    sys.exit(failures)

DjangoTestSuiteRunner and DiscoverRunner have mostly compatible interfaces.

For more information you should consult the “Defining a Test Runner” docs:

• DjangoTestSuiteRunner (Django >=1.4, <1.8)
• DiscoverRunner (Django >=1.8)
