Note that the preferred way of simulating a browser client is to use
zope.testbrowser in a doctest nowadays. See zope.testbrowser/README.txt
for an extensive documentation on TestBrowser.

Functional tests are supposed to be run by the test runner from your
instance home:

  $ cd /home/djohnson/dev/whiteboard
  $ bin/test -f -s merchantlink.browser

The -f flag tells it to run all tests but unit tests.
