Well, UNITTEST.txt is focused on writing unit tests for the Zope core itself. 
My experience is, that the instructions in that file not really apply to 
unittests for custom Products. To cut it short, it didn't work for me.

I've found another solution, using unittest.py directly, rather than copying 
framework.py .... This solution is implemented in the ZOQLMethod Product by 
Stephan Richter, so you might as well have a look into that for an example.

Maybe http://www.extremeprogramming.org has some further introduction to unit 
tests and test first design too.
