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>

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>
