+        This script behaves mostly the same as the `nosetests` command.
+
+        The main difference is that it loads automatically the
+        KnownFailure plugin, in order to hide KnownFailureTests error
+        messages. It also supports executing tests by batches.
+
+        Options:
+
+            --batch[=n]: Do not run all the tests in one run, but split
+                         the execution in batches of `n` tests each.
+                         Default n is 100.

+            --without-knownfailure: Do not load the KnownFailure plugin.
