@ -620,6 +620,31 @@ Upon failure, please email @email{bug-guix@@gnu.org} and attach the
|

as well as version numbers of the dependencies (@pxref{Requirements}) in
|

your message.
|
||||
|
||||
Guix also comes with a whole-system test suite that tests complete
|
||||
GuixSD operating system instances. It can only run on systems where
|
||||
Guix is already installed, using:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
make check-system
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
or, again, by defining @code{TESTS} to select a subset of tests to run:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
make check-system TESTS="basic mcron"
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
These system tests are defined in the @code{(gnu tests @dots{})}
|
||||
modules. They work by running the operating systems under test with
|
||||
lightweight instrumentation in a virtual machine (VM). They can be
|
||||
computationally intensive or rather cheap, depending on whether
|
||||
substitutes are available for their dependencies (@pxref{Substitutes}).
|
||||
Some of them require a lot of storage space to hold VM images.
|
||||
|
||||
Again in case of test failures, please send @email{bug-guix@@gnu.org}
|
||||
all the details.
