I've written a plugin that randomizes the test order of tests built with the
unittest.TestCase framework. I've attached the plugin, a setup file for
installation, and a patch against nose Version: 0.11.0.dev-r635. The patch
is somewhat relase agnostic as it just adds files, including a test.
The usage is --randomize
The seed is printed at the start so that failures can be replicated in a
deterministic way with --randomize --seed=<whatever seed was printed>
It has already flushed out 19 errors in the functional test suite of one of
my projects. Not too bad, as there is a little over 1200 functional tests.
