[Lumiera] gdl-package

[Jacob Christ]

Here is another wiki page I found that mentions testsuites:

http://www.pipapo.org/pipawiki/PasteBin/UnitTestSuite?highlight=(testsuite)

This looks like testsuite requirements...

Is the test suite documented somewhere other than these two places and 
the git repo?
