German term or phrase: müssen selbst erstellt werden
Python ist eine Programmiersprache, die für den Test notwendigen Funktionalitäten müssen selbst erstellt werden.

Python is a programming language that must be must be created itself for testing necessary functionalities.

Do I have this right? I'm simply not familiar enough with computer programming to know if this makes any sense.

I am not very happy with my example sentences, but my main point is to suggest the term "user-defined" for the part of the sentence that formed the subject of the question.

The functionality (you need) for test purposes has to be created by yourself


Explanation:
Es sagt ganz klar in deutsch, dass 'die (für den Test notwendigen) Funktionalitäten selbst selbst erstellt werden muessen'. Das heisst: you have to create the functionality you want (or need) to test the software. Ich denke dies sind zwei unabhaengige Saetze, die nicht durch ein Komma sondern durch einen Punkt getrennt werden sollten.

the functionalities themselves must be created


Explanation:
Perhaps the one sentence should have been written in two sentences:

Python ist eine Programmiersprache. Die für den Test notwendigen Funktionalitäten müssen selbst erstellt werden.

Python is a programming language. The functionalities themselves (required for the test) must be created/generated.
