Hi, I'm a bit in a hurry, thus the short but hopefully helpful answer:

If there is also any other tutorial > in the subject please let me know!! Every naive question is fine (and this is not a naive one!) For simplicity reasons: I'd recommend to follow for instance the here suggested tophat example. Just do apt-get source tophat and have a look at tophat*/debian/tests/run-unit-test If you can craft such a script that runs on your local machine successfully that's the first simple way to test. Everything else like running it in a minimum virtual machine can be tested afterwards (or somebody else steps in here for a more detailed explanation). Hope this helps Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
