Here's a slightly modified example from work which I hope will help you
with the solution.  Note that the group here chose to make the test
functions start with "check" instead of "test" but I believe you
will have no trouble translating to your own situation.

def suite():
    return unittest.TestSuite((
        unittest.makeSuite(SetupFileImportTestCase, 'check'),
        unittest.makeSuite(FunctionTestCase, 'check'),
        ))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main(defaultTest='suite')
