 DIRAC is not different from that scenario, with the exception that service-oriented architecture paradigm,

-Unit tests are typically created by the developer who will also write the code that is being tested.

-Unit tests should run in *isolation*. Which means that they should run without having DIRAC fully installed, because, remember, they should just test the code logic. If, to run a unit test in DIRAC, you need a dirac.cfg file to be present, you are failing your goal.
