      3. Running Tests
        1. % python manage.py help test
        2. % python manage.py test
          1. Run all test methods in all test classes of all apps
        3. python manage.py test -v2
          1. More verbose (levels 0-3)
        4. % python manage.py test -v2 appname...
          1. Run all test methods in all test classes of specified apps
        5. % python manage.py test -v3 appname...
          1. Shows ALL steps.  Too much detail for typical use
        6. % python manage.py test -v2 appname.TestClass...
          1. Run all test methods in specified test classes
        7. % python manage.py test -v2 appname.TestClass.test_name...
          1. Run specified test methods

      5. Test DB
        1. Creates/deletes "test_" DB.  Does not touch real DB.
        2. For speed use SQlite, not MySQL

        2. Schema migrations
          1. Create/change models
          2. % python manage.py schemamigration <app_name> --auto
        3. Data Migrations
          1. % python manage.py datamigration <app_name> <migration_base_name>
          2. Edit the generated file, adding code to forwards() and backwards()
        4. Migrating forwards or backwards to a specific migration
          1. % python manage.py migrate <app_name> <migration_number>
        5. Migrating all apps to the latest migration for each
          1. % python manage.py migrate --all
        6. Faking a migration (because the change has already been made to the DB)
          1. % python manage.py migrate <app_name> <migration_number> --fake
      6. Django Migrations (Django 1.7 and later)
        1. Same author as South
