Unit tests are supposed to be isolated. They shouldn't depend on execution order, or have any pre-requisite other than those specified as part of the setUp()/teardown() methods. As a result, you won't find a whole lot of documentation on how to do what you're describing. The right way to approach this is to identify the required preconditions for each test, and either construct those preconditions in the setUp() method, or use Django's test fixtures to install test data. This is all covered in the documentation for Django's testing system; most notably in the section on fixtures. [1] https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/testing/#fixture-loading More broadly, you might want to dig into the documentation for Python's unittest module, which is what Django's unit test framework is built on.
