<title>About the test suites</title>
<?dbhtml filename="abouttestsuites.html" dir="chapter02"?>
<para>Most packages provide a test suite. Running the test suite for a newly
built package is generally a good idea as it can provide a nice sanity check
that everything compiled correctly. A test suite that passes it's set of
checks usually proves that the package is functioning mostly as the developer
intended. It does not, however, guarantee that the package is totally bug
free.</para>
<para>Some test suites are more important than others. For example, the test
suites for the core toolchain packages, GCC and Binutils, and the C library,
Glibc, are of the utmost importance due to their central positioning in a
properly functioning system. But be warned, the test suites for GCC and Glibc
can take a very long period of time to complete, especially on slower
hardware.</para>
<para>As you progress through the book and encounter the build commands to
run the various test suites, we'll guide you on the relative importance of
the test suite in question so that you can decide for yourself whether to
run it or not.</para>
