The hacky way would be to pick an app that doesn't have any tests,
define a tests.py module, and put 'from mytests import *' in it. This
will get picked up by the existing test framework.
A better way is to overwrite the test runner. Duplicate
django.test.simple, but add in logic to search your external test
directory. Then point settings.TEST_RUNNER at your new run_tests
method, and `./manage.py test` will use your new test execution
strategy.
Yet another way is to write your own test executing script that uses
the existing test runner. The django.test.simple.run_tests method
(which is what ./manage.py calls by default) allows you to pass an
'extra_tests' argument - these tests are integrated into the overall
suite. If you write your own test script (rather than using
./manage.py test), you can call django.test.simple.run_tests with your
external test suite as an 'extra' test.
