 The unit-tests for each Nix library (`libexpr`, `libstore`, etc..) are defined
 under `src/{library_name}/tests` using the

+[googletest](https://google.github.io/googletest/) and

 You can run the whole testsuite with `make check`, or the tests for a specific component with `make libfoo-tests_RUN`. Finer-grained filtering is also possible using the [--gtest_filter](https://google.github.io/googletest/advanced.html#running-a-subset-of-the-tests) command-line option.
