 ~~~~~~~~
 
-In the _scripts/_ subfolder, there is a `run_checks.py` script.
+qutbebrowser uses http://tox.readthedocs.org/en/latest/[tox] to run its

+Currently, the following tools will be invoked when you run `tox`:
 
 * Unit tests using the Python
 https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/unittest.html[unittest] framework
-* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flake8/1.3.1[flake8]
+* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flake8/[flake8]
 * https://github.com/GreenSteam/pep257/[pep257]
 * http://pylint.org/[pylint]
-* A custom checker for the following things:
+* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyroma/[pyroma]
+* https://github.com/mgedmin/check-manifest[check-manifest]
+* `scripts/misc_checks.py` which checks for the following things:
     - untracked git files
     - VCS conflict markers

-
-* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyroma/0.9.3[pyroma]
-* https://github.com/mgedmin/check-manifest[check-manifest]
