 ## Configure tests
 
-Once you have the Python extension installed and a Python file open within the editor, a test beaker icon will be displayed on the VS Code Activity bar. The beaker icon is for the **Test Explorer** view. When opening the Test Explorer, you will see a **Configure Tests** button if you don't have a test framework enabled. Once you select **Configure Tests**, you will be prompted to select a test framework and a folder containing the tests. If you're using unittest, you will also be asked to select the file glob pattern used to identify your test files.

You can also configure testing manually by setting either `python.testing.unittestEnabled` or `python.testing.pytestEnabled` to true. Each framework also has specific configuration settings as described under [Test configuration settings](#test-configuration-settings) for their folders and patterns.
