We use standard automake tests (search the internet if you are interested in 
details).

We have the 'legacy' tests/ directory with tests written in Perl. And the 
'current' testenv/ directory with tests written in Python.

See tests/Makefile.am resp. testenv/Makefile.am for the list of executed tests.
The output of each test executed by 'make check' is saved in a .log file.

You can execute a single test with e.g.
$ cd tests
$ make check TESTS=Test--start-pos
(creates a .log file)

or with e.g.
$ cd tests
$ ./Test--start-pos.px
(prints output on screen, creates no .log file)
