It is important to regularly run tests to keep control of user-visible
changes incured by code modifications. The tests that are part of synopsis
are not an absolute measure for success or failure, but rather reflect
a given state of the system at a particular point in time.
</p><p>
It sometimes happens that a new addition to the code will make a particular
test fail, simply because that test now produces a different output compared
to what it used to produce before.
</p><p>
This may indicate a true regression, or it may mean that the <span class="emphasis"><em>expected output</em></span>
should be adjusted if the new output is valid and should be the new reference.
</p><p>
The 'official' regression test results are available at all times as a
