The programmer puts one or more test suites directly in the lisp + file, wrapped inside an "eval-when-compile" special form. This + causes the test suites to be available when .el file is loaded + (or when the buffer is evaluated), but not when the .elc file is + loaded. + + 2. The programmer runs the tests in one of two ways: + a. Interactively, with the M-x regress command. + b. Automatically, every time the file is evaluated, by putting + a small bit of code at the end of the file. + + 3. If there are any regressions, a report is produced detailing the + problems. +</longdescription> <stabilize-allarches/> </pkgmetadata>
