<title>About the Test Suites</title>
<para>Most packages provide a test suite. Running the test suite for a
newly built package is a good idea because it can provide a <quote>sanity
check</quote> indicating that everything compiled correctly. A test suite
that passes its set of checks usually proves that the package is
functioning as the developer intended. It does not, however, guarantee
that the package is totally bug free.</para>
<para>It is not possible to run testsuites when cross-compiling, so package
installation instructions do not explain how to run testsuites.</para>
