[Tutor] Test Drive Development, DocTest, UnitTest

[Tino Dai]

Hi All,

     In my journey from a hacker to a professional software developer, I
have started to learn
the finer points of Test Drive Development via Django (no questions about
Django though). I am
torn between the DocTest and UnitTest. I like the one "fileness" of the
DocTest, but am concerned
about the length of my tests being several orders of magnitude bigger than
the actual code. I
like the UnitTest having a separate file but am worried about the tests
getting lost or never getting
executed because a junior developer doesn't know about them. I'm wondering
in respect to TDD, which
is better or is it a matter of taste?

TIA,
Tino
