==============================
Test suite for the Mailman UI.
==============================

This document both acts as a test for all the functions implemented
in the UI as well as documenting what has been done.


Getting Started
===============

To start the test, import the django test client.

    >>> from django.test.client import Client

Then instantiate a test client.

    >>> c = Client()

Go to the start page listing all lists.

    >>> response = c.get('/',)

Make sure the load was a success by checking the status code.

    >>> #response.status_code
    200
    
Create a New List
=================

Try to create a new list. Accessing the page to create a new list 
redirects to a login page since we need admin authority to create 
a new list.

    >>> response = c.get('/mailman_django/lists/new/')

Check that login required was in the HTML content of what was loaded

    >>> print "Login Required" in response.content
    True

Hence, we log in as an admin on the login page we get as a response 
to our call.
