13 | <para>Most packages provide a test suite. Running the test suite for a | |
14 | newly built package is a good idea because it can provide a <quote>sanity | |
15 | check</quote> indicating that everything compiled correctly. A test suite | |
16 | that passes its set of checks usually proves that the package is | |
17 | functioning as the developer intended. It does not, however, guarantee | |
18 | that the package is totally bug free.</para> | |

[5da8aa0] | 20 | <para>It is not possible to run testsuites when cross-compiling, so package installation instructions do not explain how to run testsuites until <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>.</para> |
