+### Unit tests accessing the database
+
+If you want to include unit tests which need a connection to the database, initialize it in the `setUp()` method as follows:
+
+    [php]
+    public function setUp ()
+    {
+      // initialize the database manager
+      $databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager();
+      $databaseManager->initialize();
+    }
+
+You can then use the database connections and Propel objects just like in actions.
