Hi Benoit.

As far as I know, when you want to write tests based off the demo site,
you can use the test suite from testutils with warn_user=True.

If I have understood correctly, this is the major difference between
unit-tests (ala xx_tests.py) and regression-tests (ala
xx_regression_tests.py) inside Invenio.

Cheers,
Jan
