+Testing:
+
+Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions.
+You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since
+it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is
+recommended becore submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also
+appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.
