## Chapter 18. Testing and debugging

## Test before releasing

One week before release the software should be tested on all supported platforms. In between releases the system gets tested on various platforms on an ad hoc basis. When testing, use the to-be-released tarball. Run `make distcheck` to generate such a tarball.

Especially when changes to the Lire core have been made, the "test" superservice can be handy, for easy setting up of tests of your code. See also the section on Unit Testing in this document.
