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>
