Sage also has a fair amount of machinery dealing with doctests.  Almost 
all of Sage's testing is done in doctests (covering 85.4% of the Sage 
library, which is 27833 functions).  All doctests must pass before a 
release, and any new functions must have doctests.  We do also have some 
unit tests, and there is sentiment that we should have more unit tests, 
but the requirement right now is only for doctests.
