<p dir="auto">Yes, you are right. In general, we do not expect <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">TEST-OP</code> to propagate to dependencies. But there may be systems that have sub-systems, in which case the programmer might want propagation. This can be achieved with <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">in-order-to</code>. Indeed, my systems, <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">foo</code> typically have a coupled subsystem <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">foo/test</code>, with <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">(in-order-to (test-op (test-op "foo/test")))</code> (that syntax is just from memory; could be wrong).</p>
<p dir="auto">Typically, I don't build the tests into the system under test, in order to avoid spurious dependencies on test libraries.</p>
