There's no way to say "just run the tests in the regression directory", but you can use the same tricks that ./manage.py test allows - that is, you can say: ./runtests.py --settings=xxx query aggregation_regress serializers_regress and that will just run the query, aggregation_regress and serializers_regress tests. For unit tests, you can go one step deeper and narrow this down to a single TestCase, or a single test inside a test case: ./runtests.py --settings=xxx test_client.ClientTest ./runtests.py --settings=xxx test_client.ClientTest.test_get_view Following on from this, I personally have a couple of scripts where I've gathered together subsets of tests that I know have a particular focus - e.g., the tests that are testing core database functions, the tests for the form library, tests for the admin, etc. These scripts are effectively just aliases for calls to runtests.py with a list of relevant test names. That way, I can easily run a subset of the full test suite with a single script. If I'm working on a particular feature, I may produce a custom script for an even more reduced subset - for example, when I was working on aggregation, I had a script to just run aggregation, aggregation_regress, expressions, expressions_regress and query. Of course, I still run the full test suite before I commit anything, but these subsets are usually good enough during the development of a particular feature that I know is "just database" or "just forms".
