 Manual launching
 ----------------
 
 Basically::
 
-  nosetests --with-funq

 The command must be started from the folder containing tests files and
 the **funq.conf** configuration file.

-  nosetests test_export.py:TestExportElectre.test_export_b6

-  See the nose documeation fo more information.

   If the verbosity option is equal to 2, the tests execution will show

-Some are integrated in nose, others are third-party plugins and need a

-Som of the interesting nose plugins are listed here:

-- **xunit**: format tests output using xunit
-- **attributeselector**: select tests given their attributes
-- **collect-only**: allow to only list tests without really execute them
