+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. js:function:: when(deferreds…)
+
+    :param deferreds: deferred objects to multiplex
+    :returns: a multiplexed deferred
+    :rtype: :js:class:`Deferred`
+
+.. js:class:: Deferred
+
+    .. js:function:: Deferred.then(doneCallback[, failCallback])
+
+        Attaches new callbacks to the resolution or rejection of the
+        deferred object. Callbacks are executed in the order they are
+        attached to the deferred.
+
+        To provide only a failure callback, pass ``null`` as the
+        ``doneCallback``, to provide only a success callback the
+        second argument can just be ignored (and not passed at all).
+
+        Returns a new deferred which resolves to the result of the
+        corresponding callback, if a callback returns a deferred
+        itself that new deferred will be used as the resolution of the
+        chain.
+
+        :param doneCallback: function called when the deferred is resolved
+        :type doneCallback: Function
+        :param failCallback: function called when the deferred is rejected
+        :type failCallback: Function
+        :returns: the deferred object on which it was called
+        :rtype: :js:class:`Deferred`
+
+    .. js:function:: Deferred.done(doneCallback)
+
+        Attaches a new success callback to the deferred, shortcut for
+        ``deferred.then(doneCallback)``.
+
+        This is a jQuery extension to `CommonJS Promises/A`_ providing
+        little value over calling :js:func:`~Deferred.then` directly,
+        it should be avoided.
+
+        :param doneCallback: function called when the deferred is resolved
+        :type doneCallback: Function
+        :returns: the deferred object on which it was called
+        :rtype: :js:class:`Deferred`
+
+    .. js:function:: Deferred.fail(failCallback)
+
+        Attaches a new failure callback to the deferred, shortcut for
+        ``deferred.then(null, failCallback)``.
+
+        A second jQuery extension to `Promises/A <CommonJS
+        Promises/A>`_. Although it provides more value than
+        :js:func:`~Deferred.done`, it still is not much and should be
+        avoided as well.
+
+        :param failCallback: function called when the deferred is rejected
+        :type failCallback: Function
+        :returns: the deferred object on which it was called
+        :rtype: :js:class:`Deferred`
+
+    .. js:function:: Deferred.promise()
+
+        Returns a read-only view of the deferred object, with all
+        mutators (resolve and reject) methods removed.
+
+    .. js:function:: Deferred.resolve(value…)
+
+        Called to resolve a deferred, any value provided will be
+        passed onto the success handlers of the deferred object.
+
+        Resolving a deferred which has already been resolved or
+        rejected has no effect.
+
+    .. js:function:: Deferred.reject(value…)
+
+        Called to reject (fail) a deferred, any value provided will be
+        passed onto the failure handler of the deferred object.
+
+        Rejecting a deferred which has already been resolved or
+        rejected has no effect.
+
+.. [#] or simply calling :js:class:`Deferred` as a function, the
+       result is the same
+
+.. [#] or not-promises, the `CommonJS Promises/B`_ role of
+       :js:func:`when` is to be able to treat values and promises
+       uniformly: :js:func:`when` will pass promises through directly,
+       but non-promise values and objects will be transformed into a
+       resolved promise (resolving themselves with the value itself).
+
+       jQuery's :js:func:`when` keeps this behavior making deferreds
+       easy to build from "static" values, or allowing defensive code
+       where expected promises are wrapped in :js:func:`when` just in
+       case.

+Testing in OpenERP Web
+======================
+
+Javascript Unit Testing
+-----------------------
+
+OpenERP Web 7.0 includes means to unit-test both the core code of
+OpenERP Web and your own javascript modules. On the javascript side,
+unit-testing is based on QUnit_ with a number of helpers and
+extensions for better integration with OpenERP.
+
+To see what the runner looks like, find (or start) an OpenERP server
+with the web client enabled, and navigate to ``/web/tests`` e.g. `on
+OpenERP's CI <http://trunk.runbot.openerp.com/web/tests>`_. This will
+show the runner selector, which lists all modules with javascript unit
+tests, and allows starting any of them (or all javascript tests in all
+modules at once).
+
+.. image:: ./images/runner.png
+    :align: center
+
+Clicking any runner button will launch the corresponding tests in the
+bundled QUnit_ runner:
+
+.. image:: ./images/tests.png
+    :align: center
+
+Writing a test case
+-------------------
+
+The first step is to list the test file(s). This is done through the
+``test`` key of the openerp manifest, by adding javascript files to it
+(next to the usual YAML files, if any):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    {
+        'name': "Demonstration of web/javascript tests",
+        'category': 'Hidden',
+        'depends': ['web'],
+        'test': ['static/test/demo.js'],
+    }
+
+and to create the corresponding test file(s)
+
+.. note::
+
+    Test files which do not exist will be ignored, if all test files
+    of a module are ignored (can not be found), the test runner will
+    consider that the module has no javascript tests.
+
+After that, refreshing the runner selector will display the new module
+and allow running all of its (0 so far) tests:
+
+.. image:: ./images/runner2.png
+    :align: center
+
+The next step is to create a test case::
+
+    openerp.testing.section('basic section', function (test) {
+        test('my first test', function () {
+            ok(false, "this test has run");
+        });
+    });
+
+All testing helpers and structures live in the ``openerp.testing``
+module. OpenERP tests live in a :js:func:`~openerp.testing.section`,
+which is itself part of a module. The first argument to a section is
+the name of the section, the second one is the section body.
+
+:js:func:`test <openerp.testing.case>`, provided by the
+:js:func:`~openerp.testing.section` to the callback, is used to
+register a given test case which will be run whenever the test runner
+actually does its job. OpenERP Web test case use standard `QUnit
+assertions`_ within them.
+
+Launching the test runner at this point will run the test and display
+the corresponding assertion message, with red colors indicating the
+test failed:
+
+.. image:: ./images/tests2.png
+    :align: center
+
+Fixing the test (by replacing ``false`` to ``true`` in the assertion)
+will make it pass:
+
+.. image:: ./images/tests3.png
+    :align: center
+
+Assertions
+----------
+
+As noted above, OpenERP Web's tests use `qunit assertions`_. They are
+available globally (so they can just be called without references to
+anything). The following list is available:
+
+.. js:function:: ok(state[, message])
+
+    checks that ``state`` is truthy (in the javascript sense)
+
+.. js:function:: strictEqual(actual, expected[, message])
+
+    checks that the actual (produced by a method being tested) and
+    expected values are identical (roughly equivalent to ``ok(actual
+    === expected, message)``)
+
+.. js:function:: notStrictEqual(actual, expected[, message])
+
+    checks that the actual and expected values are *not* identical
+    (roughly equivalent to ``ok(actual !== expected, message)``)
+
+.. js:function:: deepEqual(actual, expected[, message])
+
+    deep comparison between actual and expected: recurse into
+    containers (objects and arrays) to ensure that they have the same
+    keys/number of elements, and the values match.
+
+.. js:function:: notDeepEqual(actual, expected[, message])
+
+    inverse operation to :js:func:`deepEqual`
+
+.. js:function:: throws(block[, expected][, message])
+
+    checks that, when called, the ``block`` throws an
+    error. Optionally validates that error against ``expected``.
+
+    :param Function block:
+    :param expected: if a regexp, checks that the thrown error's
+                     message matches the regular expression. If an
+                     error type, checks that the thrown error is of
+                     that type.
+    :type expected: Error | RegExp
+
+.. js:function:: equal(actual, expected[, message])
+
+    checks that ``actual`` and ``expected`` are loosely equal, using
+    the ``==`` operator and its coercion rules.
+
+.. js:function:: notEqual(actual, expected[, message])
+
+    inverse operation to :js:func:`equal`
+
+Getting an OpenERP instance
+---------------------------
+
+The OpenERP instance is the base through which most OpenERP Web
+modules behaviors (functions, objects, …) are accessed. As a result,
+the test framework automatically builds one, and loads the module
+being tested and all of its dependencies inside it. This new instance
+is provided as the first positional parameter to your test
+cases. Let's observe by adding javascript code (not test code) to the
+test module:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    {
+        'name': "Demonstration of web/javascript tests",
+        'category': 'Hidden',
+        'depends': ['web'],
+        'js': ['static/src/js/demo.js'],
+        'test': ['static/test/demo.js'],
+    }
+
+::
+
+    // src/js/demo.js
+    openerp.web_tests_demo = function (instance) {
+        instance.web_tests_demo = {
+            value_true: true,
+            SomeType: instance.web.Class.extend({
+                init: function (value) {
+                    this.value = value;
+                }
+            })
+        };
+    };
+
+and then adding a new test case, which simply checks that the
+``instance`` contains all the expected stuff we created in the
+module::
+
+    // test/demo.js
+    test('module content', function (instance) {
+        ok(instance.web_tests_demo.value_true, "should have a true value");
+        var type_instance = new instance.web_tests_demo.SomeType(42);
+        strictEqual(type_instance.value, 42, "should have provided value");
+    });
+
+DOM Scratchpad
+--------------
+
+As in the wider client, arbitrarily accessing document content is
+strongly discouraged during tests. But DOM access is still needed to
+e.g. fully initialize :js:class:`widgets <~openerp.web.Widget>` before
+testing them.
+
+Thus, a test case gets a DOM scratchpad as its second positional
+parameter, in a jQuery instance. That scratchpad is fully cleaned up
+before each test, and as long as it doesn't do anything outside the
+scratchpad your code can do whatever it wants::
+
+    // test/demo.js
+    test('DOM content', function (instance, $scratchpad) {
+        $scratchpad.html('<div><span class="foo bar">ok</span></div>');
+        ok($scratchpad.find('span').hasClass('foo'),
+           "should have provided class");
+    });
+    test('clean scratchpad', function (instance, $scratchpad) {
+        ok(!$scratchpad.children().length, "should have no content");
+        ok(!$scratchpad.text(), "should have no text");
+    });
+
+.. note::
+
+    The top-level element of the scratchpad is not cleaned up, test
+    cases can add text or DOM children but shoud not alter
+    ``$scratchpad`` itself.
+
+Loading templates
+-----------------
+
+To avoid the corresponding processing costs, by default templates are
+not loaded into QWeb. If you need to render e.g. widgets making use of
+QWeb templates, you can request their loading through the
+:js:attr:`~TestOptions.templates` option to the :js:func:`test case
+function <openerp.testing.case>`.
+
+This will automatically load all relevant templates in the instance's
+qweb before running the test case:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    {
+        'name': "Demonstration of web/javascript tests",
+        'category': 'Hidden',
+        'depends': ['web'],
+        'js': ['static/src/js/demo.js'],
+        'test': ['static/test/demo.js'],
+        'qweb': ['static/src/xml/demo.xml'],
+    }
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <!-- src/xml/demo.xml -->
+    <templates id="template" xml:space="preserve">
+        <t t-name="DemoTemplate">
+            <t t-foreach="5" t-as="value">
+                <p><t t-esc="value"/></p>
+            </t>
+        </t>
+    </templates>
+
+::
+
+    // test/demo.js
+    test('templates', {templates: true}, function (instance) {
+        var s = instance.web.qweb.render('DemoTemplate');
+        var texts = $(s).find('p').map(function () {
+            return $(this).text();
+        }).get();
+
+        deepEqual(texts, ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4']);
+    });
+
+Asynchronous cases
+------------------
+
+The test case examples so far are all synchronous, they execute from
+the first to the last line and once the last line has executed the
+test is done. But the web client is full of :doc:`asynchronous code
+</async>`, and thus test cases need to be async-aware.
+
+This is done by returning a :js:class:`deferred <Deferred>` from the
+case callback::
+
+    // test/demo.js
+    test('asynchronous', {
+        asserts: 1
+    }, function () {
+        var d = $.Deferred();
+        setTimeout(function () {
+            ok(true);
+            d.resolve();
+        }, 100);
+        return d;
+    });
+
+This example also uses the :js:class:`options parameter <TestOptions>`
+to specify the number of assertions the case should expect, if less or
+more assertions are specified the case will count as failed.
+
+Asynchronous test cases *must* specify the number of assertions they
+will run. This allows more easily catching situations where e.g. the
+test architecture was not warned about asynchronous operations.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Asynchronous test cases also have a 2 seconds timeout: if the test
+    does not finish within 2 seconds, it will be considered
+    failed. This pretty much always means the test will not
+    resolve. This timeout *only* applies to the test itself, not to
+    the setup and teardown processes.
+
+.. note::
+
+    If the returned deferred is rejected, the test will be failed
+    unless :js:attr:`~TestOptions.fail_on_rejection` is set to
+    ``false``.
+
+RPC
+---
+
+An important subset of asynchronous test cases is test cases which
+need to perform (and chain, to an extent) RPC calls.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Because they are a subset of asynchronous cases, RPC cases must
+    also provide a valid :js:attr:`assertions count
+    <TestOptions.asserts>`.
+
+By default, test cases will fail when trying to perform an RPC
+call. The ability to perform RPC calls must be explicitly requested by
+a test case (or its containing test suite) through
+:js:attr:`~TestOptions.rpc`, and can be one of two modes: ``mock`` or
+``rpc``.
+
+Mock RPC
+++++++++
+
+The preferred (and fastest from a setup and execution time point of
+view) way to do RPC during tests is to mock the RPC calls: while
+setting up the test case, provide what the RPC responses "should" be,
+and only test the code between the "user" (the test itself) and the
+RPC call, before the call is effectively done.
+
+To do this, set the :js:attr:`rpc option <TestOptions.rpc>` to
+``mock``. This will add a third parameter to the test case callback:
+
+.. js:function:: mock(rpc_spec, handler)
+
+    Can be used in two different ways depending on the shape of the
+    first parameter:
+
+    * If it matches the pattern ``model:method`` (if it contains a
+      colon, essentially) the call will set up the mocking of an RPC
+      call straight to the OpenERP server (through XMLRPC) as
+      performed via e.g. :js:func:`openerp.web.Model.call`.
+
+      In that case, ``handler`` should be a function taking two
+      arguments ``args`` and ``kwargs``, matching the corresponding
+      arguments on the server side and should simply return the value
+      as if it were returned by the Python XMLRPC handler::
+
+          test('XML-RPC', {rpc: 'mock', asserts: 3}, function (instance, $s, mock) {
+              // set up mocking
+              mock('people.famous:name_search', function (args, kwargs) {
+                  strictEqual(kwargs.name, 'bob');
+                  return [
+                      [1, "Microsoft Bob"],
+                      [2, "Bob the Builder"],
+                      [3, "Silent Bob"]
+                  ];
+              });
+
+              // actual test code
+              return new instance.web.Model('people.famous')
+                  .call('name_search', {name: 'bob'}).then(function (result) {
+                      strictEqual(result.length, 3, "shoud return 3 people");
+                      strictEqual(result[0][1], "Microsoft Bob",
+                          "the most famous bob should be Microsoft Bob");
+                  });
+          });
+
+    * Otherwise, if it matches an absolute path (e.g. ``/a/b/c``) it
+      will mock a JSON-RPC call to a web client controller, such as
+      ``/web/webclient/translations``. In that case, the handler takes
+      a single ``params`` argument holding all of the parameters
+      provided over JSON-RPC.
+
+      As previously, the handler should simply return the result value
+      as if returned by the original JSON-RPC handler::
+
+          test('JSON-RPC', {rpc: 'mock', asserts: 3, templates: true}, function (instance, $s, mock) {
+              var fetched_dbs = false, fetched_langs = false;
+              mock('/web/database/get_list', function () {
+                  fetched_dbs = true;
+                  return ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];
+              });
+              mock('/web/session/get_lang_list', function () {
+                  fetched_langs = true;
+                  return [['vo_IS', 'Hopelandic / Vonlenska']];
+              });
+
+              // widget needs that or it blows up
+              instance.webclient = {toggle_bars: openerp.testing.noop};
+              var dbm = new instance.web.DatabaseManager({});
+              return dbm.appendTo($s).then(function () {
+                  ok(fetched_dbs, "should have fetched databases");
+                  ok(fetched_langs, "should have fetched languages");
+                  deepEqual(dbm.db_list, ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);
+              });
+          });
+
+.. note::
+
+    Mock handlers can contain assertions, these assertions should be
+    part of the assertions count (and if multiple calls are made to a
+    handler containing assertions, it multiplies the effective number
+    of assertions).
+
+.. _testing-rpc-rpc:
+
+Actual RPC
+++++++++++
+
+A more realistic (but significantly slower and more expensive) way to
+perform RPC calls is to perform actual calls to an actually running
+OpenERP server. To do this, set the :js:attr:`rpc option
+<~TestOptions.rpc>` to ``rpc``, it will not provide any new parameter
+but will enable actual RPC, and the automatic creation and destruction
+of databases (from a specified source) around tests.
+
+First, create a basic model we can test stuff with:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+    from openerp.osv import orm, fields
+
+    class TestObject(orm.Model):
+        _name = 'web_tests_demo.model'
+
+        _columns = {
+            'name': fields.char("Name", required=True),
+            'thing': fields.char("Thing"),
+            'other': fields.char("Other", required=True)
+        }
+        _defaults = {
+            'other': "bob"
+        }
+
+then the actual test::
+
+    test('actual RPC', {rpc: 'rpc', asserts: 4}, function (instance) {
+        var Model = new instance.web.Model('web_tests_demo.model');
+        return Model.call('create', [{name: "Bob"}])
+            .then(function (id) {
+                return Model.call('read', [[id]]);
+            }).then(function (records) {
+                strictEqual(records.length, 1);
+                var record = records[0];
+                strictEqual(record.name, "Bob");
+                strictEqual(record.thing, false);
+                // default value
+                strictEqual(record.other, 'bob');
+            });
+    });
+
+This test looks like a "mock" RPC test but for the lack of mock
+response (and the different ``rpc`` type), however it has further
+ranging consequences in that it will copy an existing database to a
+new one, run the test in full on that temporary database and destroy
+the database, to simulate an isolated and transactional context and
+avoid affecting other tests. One of the consequences is that it takes
+a *long* time to run (5~10s, most of that time being spent waiting for
+a database duplication).
+
+Furthermore, as the test needs to clone a database, it also has to ask
+which database to clone, the database/super-admin password and the
+password of the ``admin`` user (in order to authenticate as said
+user). As a result, the first time the test runner encounters an
+``rpc: "rpc"`` test configuration it will produce the following
+prompt:
+
+.. image:: ./images/db-query.png
+    :align: center
+
+and stop the testing process until the necessary information has been
+provided.
+
+The prompt will only appear once per test run, all tests will use the
+same "source" database.
+
+.. note::
+
+    The handling of that information is currently rather brittle and
+    unchecked, incorrect values will likely crash the runner.
+
+.. note::
+
+    The runner does not currently store this information (for any
+    longer than a test run that is), the prompt will have to be filled
+    every time.
+
+Testing API
+-----------
+
+.. js:function:: openerp.testing.section(name[, options], body)
+
+    A test section, serves as shared namespace for related tests (for
+    constants or values to only set up once). The ``body`` function
+    should contain the tests themselves.
+
+    Note that the order in which tests are run is essentially
+    undefined, do *not* rely on it.
+
+    :param String name:
+    :param TestOptions options:
+    :param body:
+    :type body: Function<:js:func:`~openerp.testing.case`, void>
+
+.. js:function:: openerp.testing.case(name[, options], callback)
+
+    Registers a test case callback in the test runner, the callback
+    will only be run once the runner is started (or maybe not at all,
+    if the test is filtered out).
+
+    :param String name:
+    :param TestOptions options:
+    :param callback:
+    :type callback: Function<instance, $, Function<String, Function, void>>
+
+.. js:class:: TestOptions
+
+    the various options which can be passed to
+    :js:func:`~openerp.testing.section` or
+    :js:func:`~openerp.testing.case`. Except for
+    :js:attr:`~TestOptions.setup` and
+    :js:attr:`~TestOptions.teardown`, an option on
+    :js:func:`~openerp.testing.case` will overwrite the corresponding
+    option on :js:func:`~openerp.testing.section` so
+    e.g. :js:attr:`~TestOptions.rpc` can be set for a
+    :js:func:`~openerp.testing.section` and then differently set for
+    some :js:func:`~openerp.testing.case` of that
+    :js:func:`~openerp.testing.section`
+
+    .. js:attribute:: TestOptions.asserts
+
+        An integer, the number of assertions which should run during a
+        normal execution of the test. Mandatory for asynchronous tests.
+
+    .. js:attribute:: TestOptions.setup
+
+        Test case setup, run right before each test case. A section's
+        :js:func:`~TestOptions.setup` is run before the case's own, if
+        both are specified.
+
+    .. js:attribute:: TestOptions.teardown
+
+        Test case teardown, a case's :js:func:`~TestOptions.teardown`
+        is run before the corresponding section if both are present.
+
+    .. js:attribute:: TestOptions.fail_on_rejection
+
+        If the test is asynchronous and its resulting promise is
+        rejected, fail the test. Defaults to ``true``, set to
+        ``false`` to not fail the test in case of rejection::
+
+            // test/demo.js
+            test('unfail rejection', {
+                asserts: 1,
+                fail_on_rejection: false
+            }, function () {
+                var d = $.Deferred();
+                setTimeout(function () {
+                    ok(true);
+                    d.reject();
+                }, 100);
+                return d;
+            });
+
+    .. js:attribute:: TestOptions.rpc
+
+        RPC method to use during tests, one of ``"mock"`` or
+        ``"rpc"``. Any other value will disable RPC for the test (if
+        they were enabled by the suite for instance).
+
+    .. js:attribute:: TestOptions.templates
+
+        Whether the current module (and its dependencies)'s templates
+        should be loaded into QWeb before starting the test. A
+        boolean, ``false`` by default.
+
+The test runner can also use two global configuration values set
+directly on the ``window`` object:
+
+* ``oe_all_dependencies`` is an ``Array`` of all modules with a web
+  component, ordered by dependency (for a module ``A`` with
+  dependencies ``A'``, any module of ``A'`` must come before ``A`` in
+  the array)
+
+* ``oe_db_info`` is an object with 3 keys ``source``, ``supadmin`` and
+  ``password``. It is used to pre-configure :ref:`actual RPC
+  <testing-rpc-rpc>` tests, to avoid a prompt being displayed
+  (especially for headless situations).
+
+Running through Python
+----------------------
+
+The web client includes the means to run these tests on the
+command-line (or in a CI system), but while actually running it is
+pretty simple the setup of the pre-requisite parts has some
+complexities.
+
+1. Install unittest2_ and QUnitSuite_ in your Python environment. Both
+   can trivially be installed via `pip <http://pip-installer.org>`_ or
+   `easy_install
+   <http://packages.python.org/distribute/easy_install.html>`_.
+
+   The former is the unit-testing framework used by OpenERP, the
+   latter is an adapter module to run qunit_ test suites and convert
+   their result into something unittest2_ can understand and report.
+
+2. Install PhantomJS_. It is a headless
+   browser which allows automating running and testing web
+   pages. QUnitSuite_ uses it to actually run the qunit_ test suite.
+
+   The PhantomJS_ website provides pre-built binaries for some
+   platforms, and your OS's package management probably provides it as
+   well.
+
+   If you're building PhantomJS_ from source, I recommend preparing
+   for some knitting time as it's not exactly fast (it needs to
+   compile both `Qt <http://qt-project.org/>`_ and `Webkit
+   <http://www.webkit.org/>`_, both being pretty big projects).
+
+   .. note::
+
+       Because PhantomJS_ is webkit-based, it will not be able to test
+       if Firefox, Opera or Internet Explorer can correctly run the
+       test suite (and it is only an approximation for Safari and
+       Chrome). It is therefore recommended to *also* run the test
+       suites in actual browsers once in a while.
+
+   .. note::
+
+       The version of PhantomJS_ this was build through is 1.7,
+       previous versions *should* work but are not actually supported
+       (and tend to just segfault when something goes wrong in
+       PhantomJS_ itself so they're a pain to debug).
+
+3. Set up :ref:`OpenERP Command <openerpcommand:openerp-command>`,
+   which will be used to actually run the tests: running the qunit_
+   test suite requires a running server, so at this point OpenERP
+   Server isn't able to do it on its own during the building/testing
+   process.
+
+4. Install a new database with all relevant modules (all modules with
+   a web component at least), then restart the server
+
+   .. note::
+
+       For some tests, a source database needs to be duplicated. This
+       operation requires that there be no connection to the database
+       being duplicated, but OpenERP doesn't currently break
+       existing/outstanding connections, so restarting the server is
+       the simplest way to ensure everything is in the right state.
+
+5. Launch ``oe run-tests -d $DATABASE -mweb`` with the correct
+   addons-path specified (and replacing ``$DATABASE`` by the source
+   database you created above)
+
+   .. note::
+
+       If you leave out ``-mweb``, the runner will attempt to run all
+       the tests in all the modules, which may or may not work.
+
+If everything went correctly, you should now see a list of tests with
+(hopefully) ``ok`` next to their names, closing with a report of the
+number of tests run and the time it took:
+
+.. literalinclude:: test-report.txt
+    :language: text
+
+Congratulation, you have just performed a successful "offline" run of
+the OpenERP Web test suite.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Note that this runs all the Python tests for the ``web`` module,
+    but all the web tests for all of OpenERP. This can be surprising.
