      Some times you may run into trouble if your test assuming that
      there is a current Zope request. There are two ways to deal with
      this. One is to use the 'makerequest' utility module to create a
      fake request. For example::

        class MyTest(unittest.TestCase):
            ...

            def setup(self):
                import Zope
                from Testing import makerequest
                self.app=makerequest.makerequest(Zope.app())

         this isn't very understandable for someone who tries to add tests to his product the first time. How is this
         'app' used then?
         Is it possible to just create a "REQUEST" object which can then be passed as an argument?
