You run the numpy test suite by:

    import numpy as np
    np.test()  # has some options, like 'full' and verbose=2

If you're developing it may also be helpful to use:

    python runtests.py

This builds numpy and runs the tests at once. If you change something in
the git repo and re-run this command, it's very fast due to only rebuilding
the part that changed.

After you can run the test, you can add your new test by following the
examples that are already there. For any source file filename.py there's a
corresponding file tests/test_filename.py

Cheers,
Ralf


Thanking you in anticipation
