in general, Invenio's testsuite, and in particular the regression tests
do indeed expect to be run on a fully deployed demo site running if
possible the Atlantis Institute of Fictive Science.
So since your method is relying on the DB, the best thing would be to
put its tests somewhere in websearch_regression_tests.py
Cheers!
