+Unit Tests
+----------
+Unit tests are a separate class of tests in tempest. They verify tempest
+itself, and thus have a different set of guidelines around them:
+
+1. They can not require anything running externally. All you should need to
+   run the unit tests is the git tree, python and the dependencies installed.
+   This includes running services, a config file, etc.
+
+2. The unit tests cannot use setUpClass, instead fixtures and testresources
+   should be used for shared state between tests.
