[erlang-questions] Unit testing code - whence?

Hi List,

What are the conventions regarding placement of unit test code and
invocation?
Considerations:
I tend to generate a lot of unit tests - 2x..4x SLOC of the tested module's
code is not uncommon.
Should the unit test functions be placed in their own module?
If so - what is the naming convention for the new modue: 'test_mymod' /
'mymod_test' or something else?
What is the preferred way, if there are many small UT functions: function
*_test() per UT, or separate into test sets by group, e.g.:
api_unit_test_(), internal_unit_test_().

Cheers,
Alex.
