<li>Mozilla's xpcshell tests are run using <code>mach</code>. In order to run custom (e.g. RequestPolicy's) xpcshell unit tests, there are two possibilities: (a) integrate the tests into <code>mozilla-central</code>; (b) use <code>runxpcshelltests.py</code>. Option (b) seemed to be much easier to me.</li>
