What you'd be testing with the sort of test I described (one that uses
"pyramid.traversal.traverse") is Pyramid's traversal code itself.
Pyramid already has reams and reams of test code for traversal
internally, so writing a test that makes sure traversal works may be at
the edge of diminishing returns. Tests that might make more sense as a
unit test would be to test the __getitem__ of each of your model
objects independently, so that when Pyramid does call them for you,
you're not surprised by the result.
