Vim can be tested after building it, usually with "make test".
The tests are located in the directory "src/testdir".
+There are two types of tests added over time:
+ test20.in oldest, only for tiny and small builds
+ test_something.vim new style tests
+
*new-style-testing*
New tests should be added as new style tests. The test scripts are named
test_<feature>.vim (replace <feature> with the feature under test). These use
functions such as |assert_equal()| to keep the test commands and the expected
result in one place.
+ *old-style-testing*
+These tests are used only for testing Vim without the |+eval| feature.
