+
+ To run PyTest tests:
+ # glusto -c 'config.yml' --pytest='-v -x tests -m bvt'
+
+ To run Nose tests:
+ # glusto -c 'config.yml' --nosetests='-v -w tests'

+'tests' directory in glusto-tests contains testcases. One might want to create
+a dir with feature name as the name of test directory under 'tests' to add

+http://glusto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userguide/nosetests.html
+
+Logging:

+Log file name and Log level can be passed as argument to glusto command while
+running the glusto-tests. For example:
+
+ # glusto -c 'config.yml' -l /tmp/glustotests_bvt.log --log-level DEBUG --pytest='-v -x tests -m bvt'
+
+One can configure log files, log levels in the testcases as well. For details
