+This folder contains various schemes for testing LWTOOLS. The tests are
+undocumented and will remain so unless someone wishes to create
+documentation for them. They are also specific to LWTOOLS.
+
+In general, a test should be created every time a bug is discovered; that
+test should fail if the bug is found. No test need be created if another
+test already covers the bug in question.
+
+Before any release is made, the test suite should be run to ensure there are
+no regressions. This will not guarantee that there are no new bugs, but it
+should prevent old bugs from creeping in again.
