| 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 |
