   files, split the test into several independent sub-functions.
 
+C++ tests
+---------
+
+  Use the test::Suite class liberally. See other tests for examples of
+  typical usage. Add the test to EXTRA_PROGRAMS in Makefile.am.
+
+Shell tests
+-----------
+
+  Use 'required=...' for setting a space delimited list of required
+  tools (see other tests and common_defs.sh). Include common_defs.sh,
+  with '. ./common_defs.sh'.
+
+  Add test to 'DISTRIBUTED_TESTS' in Makefile.am. In order to get the
+  lazycheck to behave as expected, declare accurate dependencies. If
+  test 'foo.sh', for example, depends on file 'bar.txt', create a make
+  rule: 'foo.sh: bar.txt'.
+
+  Make sure to set svn property 'svn:executable' on test.
