+    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make test</command>.
+    The <application>vim</application> test suite outputs a lot of binary
+    data to the screen, which can cause issues with the settings of the
+    current terminal. This can be resolved by redirecting the output to a
+    log file. Even if one of the tests fails to produce the file
+    <filename>test.out</filename> in <filename
+    class="directory">src/testdir</filename>, the remaining tests will still
+    be executed. If all goes well,the final message in the log file will be
+    <literal>ALL DONE</literal>. <emphasis>Note</emphasis>: Some color tests
+    expect to be executed under the <command>xterm</command> terminal
+    emulator.</para>
