Description-en: runner for GNOME installed tests
The GNOME desktop testing runner provides an execution harness for GNOME
installed tests.
.
These tests are useful for verifying the functionality of software as
installed and packaged, and complement rather than replace build-time
('make check') tests. For example you may wish to run the installed
tests from a DEP-8 autopkgtest testsuite as a form of regression
testing.
