In the documentation
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/testing/overview/, running a
testcase is given as `./manage.py test animals.AnimalTestCase` which is
inaccurate. Running a testcase class is possible "./manage.py test
animals:AnimalTestCase" or `./manage.py test
animals.AnimalTestCase.test_animals_can_speak`.

Comment:

The documentation you have referenced is for Django 1.5, which used "old
style" test discovery; if you're using Django 1.5, the syntax described is
completely accurate. The syntax changed in Django 1.6, and the 1.6 docs
reflect that change.

The "colon" syntax is not accurate for any version, AFAIK - to the best of
my knowledge, that's a Nose extension, and has nothing to do with Django's
test suite.
