The process of adding a validator test
When a validator has a problem, someone (Jorge probably) files a bug with the error message.  

Matt isolates the bug and writes a unit test for it.  

A functional test also needs to be written.  The functional test runs the addon through the validator and checks that the same error messages does not show up.  


Example:  
Here is a bug:  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659330
"Don't show "missing type" warning for dictionary add-ons in validator"

Sometimes there is a link to a specific xpi file/addon.  This one doesn't have one but since it's for any dictionary, chose the smallest dictionary file available "chichewa"

Download the xpi file to test-amo-validator/addons

Edit the file test_amo_validator/test_validator.py

There are a few categories of tests, pick one and add a check for the file that was just downloaded.
