automake-1.16: Tests

 
 15 Support for test suites
 **************************
 
 Automake can generate code to handle two kinds of test suites.  One is
 based on integration with the ‘dejagnu’ framework.  The other (and most
 used) form is based on the use of generic test scripts, and its
 activation is triggered by the definition of the special ‘TESTS’
 variable.  This second form allows for various degrees of sophistication
 and customization; in particular, it allows for concurrent execution of
 test scripts, use of established test protocols such as TAP, and
 definition of custom test drivers and test runners.
 
 In either case, the testsuite is invoked via ‘make check’.
