+ The *defaultTest* argument is the name of the test to run if no test names
+ are specified via *argv*. If not specified or ``None`` and no test names are
+ provided via *argv*, all tests found in *module* are run.

 The *argv* argument can be a list of options passed to the program, with the
 first element being the program name. If not specified or ``None``,
 the values of :data:`sys.argv` are used.
